During early Roman history all physicians were either slaves or representatives of lower Roman society. Medicine was a Greek science and many Greek physicians, attracted by the prospect of great profits at the capital of the empire, migrated to Rome to establish their practice. As a consequence, many doctors were foreigners, and as such were considered in a very low position by the people of high social rank. Frequently, a wealthy Roman supplied one of his slaves with a medical education for the sake of convenience. Having one's own physician was obviously an advantage not to be overlooked, and slaves who had a knowledge of the healing art commanded the highest prices in the Roman slave market. Recognizing the importance of the medical profession, however, Julius Caesar conferred citizenship on all who practiced medicine at Rome to make them more desirous of living in the city, and to induce others to come to it. Despite this encouragement, medicine never came to be considered the proper profession for the upper classes.
