摘要

During the Byzantine period, historical-clinical writings suggest that different types of thyroid goitre were present in the Byzantine population throughout the Empire. In particular, Aetius of Amida (6th century A.D.), who was a contemporary of Emperor Giustinianus 1st, provides a classification of goitre currently recognisable in its modern variants, suggesting he directly experienced those anatomical types during his clinical practice. Consistently, retrospective analysis of Byzantine iconography using Visual Thinking Strategy allows for the conclusion that thyroid goitre was a pathology diffused in the population of the Eastern Roman Empire, supposedly leading to an epidemiology indicative of endemic goitre.
