- Abstract
This study describes the life and works of Soranus of Ephesus (98–138 ad) who was born in Ephesus in Asia Minor and he practiced medicine in Alexandria and Rome in the Roman period (1st/2nd century ad). Although the majority of his writings have been lost, his surviving popular scientific textbook, a four-volume treatise on "Gynecology", describes ancient medical practice regarding human embryology, paediatrics and obstetrics.
