title: [Origin of Roman medical criticism and its reception in Rome].
abstract: Our view of Cato's (234-149 B.C.) attitude towards Greek medicine and Greek doctors has been influenced by the elder Pliny (23-79 A.D.). Evidence is shown which suggests that Cato's rejection of Greek medicine did not prevent him from using the help of Greek physicians.
