title: Physical pain in Celsus' On Medicine.
abstract: Celsus' approach to physical pain in his On Medicine (De medicina) is both subtle and extensive. The encyclopaedist shows a deep consciousness of the difficulties of its evaluation and tries to tackle related issues as well as he can. Indeed, taking pain into consideration seems to play a major part in the relationship between the patient and the practitioner.
