Servilius Damocrates (orDemocrates; Greek: Δαμοκράτης, Δημοκράτης) was a Greek physicianatRome in the middle to late 1st century AD. He may have received the praenomen "Servillius" from his having become a client of the Servilia gens. Galen calls him ἄριστος ἰατρός,[1] and Pliny says[2] he was "e primis medentium," and relates[3] his cure of Considia, the daughter of Marcus Servilius. He wrote quite a few pharmaceutical works in Greek iambic verse, of which there only remain the titles and some extracts preserved by Galen.[4]
