Professor Rebecca Flemming's Inaugural Lecture - 13 May 2026

In this lecture, Rebecca takes the opportunity to reflect on over thirty years of research in, about and around ancient Greek and Roman medicine. Tracing some of the scholarly developments over that time, thinking about the field now, and where it might go in the future.

Rebecca focuses on three themes—the relations between classical medicine and classical studies, on questions around gender, sexuality and fertility, and on the ‘medical market-place’ in the ancient Mediterranean.

In each case Rebecca considers both what the rich evidence—from surviving medical texts and archaeological materials—has to offer our understanding of the ancient world and what it can contribute to current debates and developments, now.
