4. Roman female created a monastery for the ill
5. Causes of disease were superstition and magic
Correct Answer: 5, 2, 1, 3, 4
In early times beliefs about the cause of disease were imbedded in superstition and magic, so treatment often required magical cures. Important historical findings related to the Egyptian culture included the practice of mummification. Dietary laws were a significant part of the Mosaic Code and provided for the kosher slaughter of animals, as well as the preparation and preservation of animal and plant foods. The use of quarantine as a method to prevent the transmission of communicable diseases, such as leprosy and diphtheria, is recorded in the Bible. Marcella converted her palace into a monastery and encouraged other Roman matrons to join her in caring for the sick poor.
