Question

What was the ancient name of Veterinarians in Rome?

Answer 1

Records of veterinary medicine being practiced in the early part of the current era come primarily from the late Roman Republic and the length of the Roman Empire. (If, like me, you aren’t totally clear on this history, just a little clarification: Rome began as a republic in the eighth century BCE and became an empire in the first century CE. It has to do with Caesar.)

Specialists were brought in to look after horses, mules, and oxen—animals who represented the greatest financial investment because of their importance in horse-racing, transport, and war
