  3. valetudinarium
    hospital The hospital in a Roman camp was placed by Hyginus in the praetentura alongside the Scholae and the veterinarium, though in many forts the valetudinarium occurs in the latera praetorii alongside the granaries and the principia in the centre of the camp. Hospitals were present in almost all legionary fortresses, but seldom provided in auxiliary forts, notable exceptions in Britain being Housesteads and Wallsend, both on Hadrian's Wall. The hospital administration was under the control of an optio valetudinarii, though the actual medical practice was under the charge of a Chief Medical Officer or medicus ordinarius, both of which appear to be equal in rank to a centurion. The hospital was manned by a number of medical orderlies bearing the title miles medicus, who were presumably under the direct command of the administrator, and responsible for the day-to-day running of the hospital. The dressing of wounds was carried out by capsarii, similar in rank to the orderlies though commanded by the Chief Medical Officer. The soldiers who worked in the hospital were numbered among the immunes, men who were excused normal duties in order to work in specialized jobs. The valetudinarium building has a fairly distinct profile in legionary fortresses, in the form of an open courtyard, surrounded on all sides by a double row of individual cubiculae, separated by an ambulatory corridor illuminated through celestory windows. The layouts of hospitals in auxiliary forts is more varied, with the central courtyard design often featured, though scaled down, perhaps with a single row of cubiculae surrounding a small courtyard, separated by an ambulatory or peristyle; the hospitals in the forts on Hadrian's Wall are of this type. Another form often seen in the smaller forts is that of a rectangular building with two rows of cubicles separated by a central corridor running along its main axis, such as at Corbridge.

22 November 2009

This day in history:
On Friday, November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was shot as he rode in a motorcade through the streets of Dallas, Texas. At his death, the 35th president was 46 years old and had served less than three years in office. Despite this intimate experience of events surrounding the death of John F. Kennedy, the nation failed to achieve closure. Oswald never confessed, and the facts of the case remain mysterious. The Warren Commission's conclusion Oswald acted alone failed to satisfy the public. In 1976, the House of Representatives' Select Committee on Assassinations reopened investigation of the murder. The Committee reported that Lee Harvey Oswald probably was part of a conspiracy that may have involved organized crime. read more
