<unk>  had a few prominent physicians in its<unk>  era who came up with treatment for various<unk> s, and were generally the only source of medicinal information. Although there was a large amount of information known about human anatomy, many of the cures and medicines were extremely ineffective. Doctors The highly experienced medical personnel were focused on the military, which was often the most vulnerable group to any given<unk> . Dioscorides served under Emperor Nero, experimenting with surgical techniques and medicinal herbs. Pliny the Elder also had a strong focus on botany, well known for his herbal knowledge. Each specialist had different methods and the ways of treating<unk> s was very varied, causing most treatments to be extremely useless due to the lack of consistency. Galen Galen, perhaps the most prominent Roman physician, studied anatomy as well as herbal remedies. Galen's contributions to medicine mainly consisted of his detailed book series that aided in future doctors' studies of practical medicine. As far as his contribution to medicine in the ancient world, he expanded the knowledge of medicine through using similar methods to Hippocrates, which strayed away from the mythical methods of medicine that proved to be ineffective. These methods that he practiced included studying anatomy and using many different procedures in an attempt to find reliable ways of treatment. Treatment methods Herbal medicines Natural medicine was of great importance, seeing as they could not synthetically manufacture anything. Many traces of herbs at ancient Roman army bases have been found, as well as medicated wine. An example of these kind of medicine is green jasper, which was used to treat stomach problems. Army doctors had knowledge of the herbs, and perhaps even grew their own in their respective gardens. The Romans were not correct with all of the herbs uses, but a placebo effect possibly still made some of the herbs useful. Pills, also referred to as pastille, consisted of herbs and plants along with a metallic ingredient. Surgery Surgery was not a very common practice during the period of<unk> <unk>  and was only used as a last option and if absolutely needed. The reason for this was due to the risk of the patient being in more pain post surgery than they were prior to it. Even when performed, it was confined to only surface level procedures, using flax, linen threads, or metal pins. Regarding internal damage that can be caused by<unk> s, many doctors did not attempt to fix this due to the fear of their medical reputation being damaged if unsuccessful, which was likely to occur due to the lack of knowledge regarding these procedures.
