Archeospezierie in Etruria (2022)

unapi

Aside from the twenty volumes (Tirrenikà) of the erudite emperor Claudius which were destroyed in the library of Alexandria, there is no original writing of Etruscan history and one has to be satisfied with what the Greeks and Romans tell. Logically, we can hypothesize the presence of the doctor (priest), quite different from the magician (charlatan) and of the proto-apothecary already at the dawn of their civilization around 900 B.C.; on a territory that is still so fertile and rich today that many substances have certainly been used for therapeutic purposes, but historians, without any trustworthy texts, list, circumstantially, different species to which I would add, among others, the Cyrenaic silphium and the ubiquitous snail.
