Subtitled `Astrology, physiognomics, and medicine in the Roman Empire' this book draws on contemporary approaches in social theory and the philosophy of science, Barton arguing that the ancient sciences are best understood in terms of rhetoric. She makes new readings of an array of texts to undermine the distinction between `science' and 'pseudoscience' in the study of ancient culture. These include Galen's treatises on pulses and urines, the physiognomical workss of Polemo, the astrological writings of Dorotheus of Sidon and Fimicus Maternus, and the `handbooks' used in teaching. She also examines the cultural prestige enjoyed by each of the sciences, and maps the relation of scientific knowledge to social and political power.
