[edit]

I can't find the characterization of Roman doctors as characterizing mental disorders in two ways. Can someone point me towards it in the source? Otherwise, I will edit to reflect this page: https://books.google.com/books?id=TQsxiCVotx8C&lpg=PA83&ots=KJ0VIRZvhk&dq=roman%20doctors%20disabilities&pg=PA69#v=onepage&q=roman%20doctors%20disabilities&f=false InterrobangersBall (talk) 19:44, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The "mad emperors" list

[edit]

This article is about disability in the broad sense, the listing of only mentally ill emperors is undue. The list should cover all disabilities at all level of Roman society. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 07:26, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Did the ancient Romans drown disabled children?

[edit]

Seneca says: "…we destroy monstrous births, and we also drown our children if they are born weakly or unnaturally formed"

Is this correct? It seems a little barbaric if true.
