Soranus
? · Rome
Soranus of Ephesus (fl. c. 98 – c. 138 CE) was a Greek physician and one of the chief representatives of the Methodist (Methodic) school of medicine. Born in Ephesus, he trained at Alexandria and practiced at Rome during the reigns of Trajan and Hadrian. He is best known for his four-book Gynaecology, the most important surviving ancient treatise on obstetrics, gynaecology, and the care of infants; it long shaped European practice through later Latin adaptations, notably by Muscio and Caelius Aurelianus. A Life of Hippocrates and a Latin rendering of his On Acute and Chronic Diseases are also associated with him. His exact birth and death years are not recorded; he is dated by his floruit under Trajan and Hadrian.

About Rome
Rome, on the Tiber in central Italy, grew from an Iron Age settlement into the capital of the Roman Republic and then of an empire that by the 1st century CE ruled the whole Mediterranean. Its Jewish community, attested from the 2nd century BCE, is among the oldest in Europe. Christian tradition holds that the apostles Peter and Paul died there, and the city became the seat of the popes. After the Western Empire ended in 476 it passed to Gothic kings, to Byzantium and then to papal rule as capital of the Papal States, until it became the capital of unified Italy in 1871. Vatican City, independent since 1929, lies within it.
