Le lieu de la douleur : le cinquième livre de la correspondance entre Fronton et Marc Aurèle

It is therefore of some interest to study how disease, pain and suffering can take place in the epistolary literature that was transmitted to us.

A whole book of the correspondence exchanged between Fronto and Marcus Aurelius can be read as a series of health bulletins. |
