Damocrates
1st century AD Greek physician · Doctors
Servilius Damocrates was a Greek physician at Rome in the middle to late 1st century AD. He may have received the praenomen "Servillius" from his having become a client of the Servilia gens.
Damocrates is read about 1 times a day, in 6 languages.
A typical day, 30 days to 9 June 2026
The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.

About this person
Galen calls him ἄριστος ἰατρός, and Pliny says he was "e primis medentium," and relates his cure of Considia, the daughter of Marcus Servilius. He wrote quite a few pharmaceutical works in Greek iambic verse, of which there only remain the titles and some extracts preserved by Galen.
