• Resumen

  • Written 2 millennia ago, Ovid's Medicamina Faciei Femineae (Cosmetics for the Female Face) provides a unique insight into Roman dermatological practices and attitudes toward beauty. Born in Sulmo (east of Rome) in 43 BC, Ovid trained as an orator before crafting his art as one of the canonical poets of Latin literature.
