I'd think in the first place of : The treatment of war wounds in Graeco-Roman antiquity / by Christine F. Salazar. - Leiden [etc.] : Brill, 2000. - 8 p. pl., XXVII, 299 p. : ill. ; 25 cm. - (Studies in ancient medicine ; vol. 21). Based on diss. University of Cambridge. - Index, bibliogr. - ISBN 90-04-11479-3 hb. The student might also find useful : Rachel Hall Sternberg, "The transport of sick and wounded soldiers in classical Greece", in _Phoenix _, vol.53 (1999), no.3-4, p.191-205. and, if he has German, then certainly : Trauma : Wund-Entstehung und Wund-Pflege im antiken Griechenland / Stephanos Geroulanos, Ren=E9 Bridler. - Mainz/Rhein : Philipp von Zabern, cop. 1994. - 172 p. : ill. ; 23 cm. - (Kulturgeschichte der antiken Welt ; 56). -=20 ISBN 3-8053-1413-2. ~~~~~~~~~ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . /| //| dr.
