“…These examples demonstrate that Aelius Promotus' recipes reflect a certain degree of accumulated experience, through successful and failed trials, which he used for the benefit of his patients. It was during his era and in his region that lead cosmetics were overused 27,28 , although lead powder had been documented as a cosmetic ingredient since Bronze Age 29 .…”

Researching medical texts of the past reveals that the preparation of a therapeutic recipe usually involved the use of several active ingredients. There are many detailed reports on the ratio of the ingredients in a recipe, but also on the dosage administered to the patient. In this article, we recorded the use of units of weight and volume in therapeutic recipes from antiquity, the Hellenistic era, the Roman Empire, Byzantium, and also empirical medical texts of the 19th century. The changes emerging over time from the growing trade in the wider Mediterranean area, with the introduction of both new products and new units of measurement, did not affect the basic principles of the therapeutic methods. Through the centuries, the main concern of physicians was to fight the disease without burdening the patient with any unwanted effects. In this context, we observe even dosage modifications when it comes to special vulnerable population groups, such as children, the elderly and pregnant women. The period covered is very large, which means that the approach is impressionistic not aiming to the philologists. We hope that this does not pose a problem to the interested historians of medicine.

BackgroundThere is a growing trend of individuals wearing cosmetics while participating in physical activities. Nonetheless, there remains a need for further understanding regarding the effects of makeup on the facial epidermis during exercise, given the existing knowledge gaps.PurposeThis study aimed to evaluate the effects of a cosmetic foundation cream on skin conditions during physical activity.MethodsForty‐three healthy college students, 20 males (26.3 ± 1.5 years) and 23 females (23.1 ± 1.0 years), were enrolled in this study. Foundation cream was applied to participants on half of the face in two different areas (MT: makeup T zone and MU: makeup U zone). The other half of the face served as internal control (T: non‐makeup T zone and U: non‐makeup U zones). Skin levels of moisture, elasticity, pore, sebum, and oil were measured using a skin analysis device (Aramhuvis, Gyeonggi, Republic of Korea) before and after a 20‐min treadmill exercise. Paired t‐test and independent t‐test were performed for skin condition measurements at pre‐ and postexercise.ResultsThe skin moisture levels in both the T and MT significantly increased after exercise (p < 0.05) (pre‐T: 24.5 ± 1.3, post‐T: 38.5 ± 3.5 and pre‐MT: 18.7 ± 0.7, post‐MT: 40.4 ± 4.8). Elasticity also significantly improved in both the T and MT (p < 0.05) (pre‐T: 25.6 ± 1.3, post‐T: 41.5 ± 3.5 and pre‐MT: 20.0 ± 0.9, post‐MT: 41.7 ± 3.7). The size of the pores in the T zone observed a significant increase after exercise (p < 0.05) (pre‐T: 41.7 ± 2.1, post‐T: 47.8 ± 2.4). The sebum levels in the T zone exhibited a reduction following physical activity, whereas there was a notable increase in sebum levels in the makeup zones (p < 0.05) (pre‐MT: 2.4 ± 0.7, post‐MT:4.2 ± 0.8 and pre MU 1.8 ± 0.34, post MU 4.9 ± 0.9). The oil level was increased in the non‐makeup zones (pre‐T: 6.1 ± 1.4, post‐T: 11.8 ± 2.0 and pre‐U: 7.3 ± 1.5, post‐U: 11.9 ± 1.9; p < 0.05) and decreased in the makeup zones (pre‐MT: 13.3 ± 1.9, post‐MT: 7.4 ± 2.3 and pre‐MU: 22.1 ± 2.4, post‐MU: 3.2 ± 1.0; p < 0.05).ConclusionsThe findings suggest that using foundation cream during aerobic exercise can reduce skin oil, causing dryness. Additionally, makeup can clog pores and increase sebum production. Therefore, wearing makeup may not be recommended for people with dry skin conditions based on the results of the current study. This research offers important insights to the public, encouraging them to consider the possible consequences of using makeup while exercising.

“…Prowadzić to może do wniosku o uznaniu za nieskromne kolorów jaskrawych, krzykliwych 77 , jak np. zielonożółty, wiśniowoczerwony, jasnozielony czy intensywnie czerwony, które łączone były z klasami niższymi 78 . Z późniejszego przekazu Owidiusza 79 jednak wynika, że kobiety nagminnie nosiły purpurę, którą, zgodnie z sugestią autora, zastąpić miały błękitem, kolorem morskim, złotym, żółtym, bladożółtym czy woskowym, ciemnozielonym, ametystowym, bladoróżowym, szarym, żołędziowym lub ciemnobrązowym, migdałowym czy beżowym.…”

Garments of Roman women in the context of fragments D. 47, 10, 15, 15 Ulpianus libro 77 ad edictumThe fact that some kinds of dress were assigned specific categories of people was to reflect — and consolidate — the existing social order expressed in the right to wear strictly defined garments. Yet a widely confirmed non-compliance with the rules concerning garments not only failed to fulfil that role, but even introduced uncertainty about the real status of inappropriately dressed individuals in the light of traditional rules of how to dress. The aim of the article is to examine the question of daily garments used by Roman women, drawing on both literary sources and images of women. The analysis is placed in the context of Ulpian’s account of modification of the liability of the perpetrator of iniuria depending on the dress worn by the woman when her good name was assaulted.Kleidung der Römerinnen im Kontext des Wortlauts des Abschnittes D. 47, 10, 15, 15 Ulpianus libro 77 ad edictumDie Bestimmung gewisser Arten der Kleidung für konkrete Gruppen von Personen sollte die geltende soziale Ordnung widerspiegeln und begründen, die sich in der Berechtigung äußerte, genau festgelegte Kleidungsbestanteile tragen zu können. Die Grundsätze betreffend Kleidung, was breit bestätigt wird, waren jedoch oft verletzt, so erfüllten sie ihre Rolle nicht. Die Verletzung dieser Grundsätze führte sogar zu Bedenken hinsichtlich des tatsächlichen Status der nicht korrekt gekleideten Person angesichts der traditionell geltenden Regeln betreffend Kleidung.Ziel des Beitrags ist, die Frage der Alltagskleidung der Römerinnen näher zu bringen, sowohl auf Grund literarischer Quellen, als auch der Abbilder der Frauen. Die Analyse wurde im Kontext der Überlieferung Ulpians über die Modifikation der Verantwortung des Verursachers von iniuria in Abhängigkeit von der Kleidung, die eine Frau während der Verletzung ihres guten Rufs trug, durchgeführt.
