Bloodletting was a medical practice of making little cuts on a sick person to have them bleed. It was thought that the sickness was in the blood so doctors "let out the blood." Leeches were also used for this purpose and it wasn't only Rome that did this but doctors everywhere did it up to the 19th century.
