Transcript:

Okay, class today we will talk about Roman doctors at the beginning of the first century. As we noted in our previous class. There was a fifteen year long war after Julius caesar was assassinated. The war was severe, the number of injured was so many. There were so many that it became one of the top priorities of the new emperor. To give medical care to those in need. It was around this time that the new emperor augustus started thinking about upgrading the status of doctors. He realized that medical care was key to the empire, and especially an army. In order to improve the medical system, he needed better doctors. So he started making the profession look more enticing.

Option 2: "They were keys to the army."

Explanation: This option is correct as the text states that Augustus realized medical care was key to the empire and especially to the army. This indicates that doctors were essential for providing medical care to soldiers, which is why they were encouraged to attend the army's medical school.

Option 1: "The civil war was important."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because while the civil war is mentioned in the text, it does not directly relate to why Roman doctors attended the army's medical school. The focus of the text is on the need for better medical care and the status of doctors, not the importance of the civil war.

Option 3: "They had fairly low status."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because while the text mentions that doctors had a low status before, it does not explain why they attended the army's medical school. The focus is on improving their status and the need for better doctors, not merely their previous status.

Option 4: "The Roman army did not have doctors."

Explanation: This option is incorrect as the text implies that there were doctors, but they were not adequately recognized or valued. The statement contradicts the information in the text, which discusses the need for better doctors in the army.
