Because every person was important to Rome. However in the case of Galen, he was not only important to Rome as a medical researcher and physician, but very important to us, as his writings give us insight into Roman medicine. Galen studied the circulatory system and the nervous system. He discovered that the brain controls all the motions of the muscles by way of the nervous system. This concept is still valid today. He also documented the Antonian Plague which ran rampart through Rome and from his writings, medical historians believe that the "plague" was smallpox.
