If you are looking for a nice relaxing time to get away from your family and be healed by the God Asclepion, then this is the place to be. Firstly on your left, entering through the forecourt, you have the temple of Asclepion where after a relaxing day, you can go and pray for Asclepion to heal you during the night.
In the corner we have a treatment centre to treat any wounds that Asclepion doesn’t need to heal. Now, continuing down the long stretch, we have the south sloa where you will go to sleep after praying to Asclepion. In this bottom corner, we have a latrine for when you need to let out your inner demons. Down the west and north side, we have extra sleeping rooms so if we begin to haul in the people of Pergamum to be healed, we won’t run out of beds. In the middle of the Asclepius, we have the pool where you can go
for a swim and get clean. This concludes our tour of the Pergamum Asclepius, we hope you enjoy you stay and leave with a smile on your face. 6. Ancient Rome Dear Emperor, I have seen the advert attached to the daily scroll and would like to apply for the job as your surgeon. I am very much interested as I have begun to get a little tired of the same old illnesses and accidents caused in this day of age, I am looking for a challenge so when I heard about this position, you would have had to have been crazy not to apply for it.
I have got some traditional skills; I trained as a gladiator surgeon so I have had my fair share of brutal injuries. I have many new skills that you could leave emperor, I know how to observe a patient and then I am able to record their symptoms in a book for future generations to learn from my recordings. I now about the four humours, the most logical reason as to why we get sick and feel terrible every now and then, when our humours, Blood, Yellow Bile, Black Bile and Phlegm, are out of balance, we need to level them out and I know how to level them.
I also know about something called dissection; I proved that the brain controls the body and not the heart, And i also know that the kidneys are the same level, admittedly I did look at a monkey but our human anatomy is not that different from a primate anatomy. Anyway, I digress. I hope that my skills would have impressed you and that I hope you know that you would have the best surgeon / doctor since Hippocrates. Yeah, I’m that good. I hope to hear from you soon Emperor. Yours sincerely Galen.
