Keywords:
Ancient medicine, Hippocratic texts, Medical education, GalenAbstract
Through an overview of the most important literary, papyrological and epigraphic sources, this paper aims at reconstructing the role that students and assistants played in ancient medical practice, beside the physician. The testimony of the De decenti habitu emerges as particularly relevant, since it shows the development of a sort of hierarchy among students and assistants in Antiquity.
