• Title:
  Kosmetyka anti-ageing w starożytnym Rzymie (Anti-ageing cosmetics in ancient Rome)
• Creator:
  Garasińska-Pryciak, Ewa
• Description:
  The process of ageing is accompanied by changes in the structure and appearance of the skin and its appendages. The article examines descriptions of people advanced in age to be found in the works of Roman authors from the period of the Principate, e.g. Horace, Ovid, Martial, Juvenal. Using input from this written recordthe author presents a brief overview of attributes of old age associated with appearance. Next, a closer look is taken at informations afforded by Ovid, Pliny the Elder, Celsus and Dioscurides on cosmetics and cosmetic treatments used during Classical Antiquity to delay the process of skin ageing and conceal the wastages caused by ageing.
