After David Leith’s detailed and significant studies (2009, 2012), in this article I again explore the question of the possible influence (also polemic) of some specific doctrines of Epicurus’ science of nature (the theory of atomic minimal parts) and the Peripatetic Strato of Lampsacus’s physics (the theory of the so-called microvoids) on the peculiar (not strictly speaking atomistic) materialism of the physician Asclepiades of Bithynia. I conclude that the hypothesis that both Epicurus and Strato could have been important doctrinal reference points for Asclepiades is highly plausible.
