Abstract
This article has two interwoven objectives. The first is to show what these items of law reveal about the Visigothic healthcare system and its origins. The second is to portray the attitude of the Visigothic Code toward healthcare as an exemplum of a more general trend of acceptance of the Roman law of obligations.
