Galen was a Greek physician and anatomist born around 130 CE in Pergamon (in what is now Turkey). He studied medicine in multiple cities and worked as a physician to gladiators in Pergamon before moving to Rome, where he gained prominence as a medical practitioner and author. Galen produced extensive written works on anatomy, physiology, and medical theory, conducting dissections on animals to advance anatomical knowledge. His theories on the four humours, the function of the brain and nerves, and the role of the spinal cord in motor control became foundational to Western and Islamic medicine. His anatomical and medical writings were widely translated and taught in medical schools throughout the medieval period and Renaissance, remaining influential in European medical education for over thirteen centuries. Galen died in Rome around 200 CE.
