Résumé
On the basis of epigraphical sources, we study the personal status and social integration of doctors and physicians in the Roman Occidental Europe. They show roman name patterns, though the significant presence of greek names evidences that, in a degree depending on the province, many of them have a slave origin. From Spain to the provinces of Upper and Middle Danube we find a progressive decrease of slave-origin professionals who work in an urban civil background, and a parallel increase of free men, roman citizens, many of them also general doctors who practiced privately in cities or, much more frecuently, physicians of military units.
