Galen of Pergamum, (born 129 circa, Pergamum, Roman Empire—died c. 216), Greco-Roman physician, writer, and philosopher who exercised a dominant influence on medical theory and practice in Europe from the Middle Ages until the mid-17th century. His authority in the Byzantine world and the Muslim Middle East was similarly long-lived.
