Summary:

This scholarly work explores the medical and social practices related to infant care in the Gallo-Roman period, focusing on the use of feeding vessels akin to modern baby bottles. It examines historical medical discourses by figures such as Hippocrates, Soranos, and Galen concerning milk selection and its applications. The book delves into the representation of breastfeeding in ancient cultures and contrasts it with artificial feeding methods. It also covers the archaeological and typological aspects of feeding vessels, their historical contexts, and their significance in funerary and domestic settings. The study further investigates infant mortality and the bioarchaeological analyses of feeding vessels' contents. This research is intended for scholars and students interested in ancient history, archaeology, and the history of medicine. Generated by AI.
