Cassius Iatrosophista

Cassius Iatrosophista (Cassius the "physician-sophist") was a Greek medical writer of uncertain date, probably active in the Roman imperial period, perhaps around the 2nd century CE. He is known for a collection of "Medical Questions and Natural Problems" (Quaestiones medicae et problemata physica), a set of question-and-answer discussions explaining physiological and pathological phenomena in the tradition of the Aristotelian Problemata. His title iatrosophistēs marks him as a teacher and theorist of medicine. Almost nothing is securely known about his life, and details of his exact period and place remain debated.
