Summary

Description
English: Marcus Terentius Varro (116-27 B.C.) Though the Romans long regarded the practice of medics as unworthy, three Romans, the so-called encyclopedists, made a considerable contribution to the science of medicine. The earliest of them, Marcus Terentius Varro (116-27 B.C.) is known only through references by other writers. He was aware of the existence of microorganisms, describing them as small creatures invisible to the eye, which fill the air, are breathed in, and cause dangerous diseases in the human body. The source of his knowledge remains a mystery.
