‘Fortune and Misfortune’ is the overall motto of this years’ Rencontre Internationale Assyriologique at Warsaw. The BabMed project presents a day long panel session entitled “Patients and Patronage” on Wednesday, July 23, 2014 organised by J. Cale Johnson. Contributions will focus on the interaction between technical disciplines such as medicine and astronomy and their clients and patrons, in particular the way in which the concrete activities of these technical disciplines affected perceptions of fortune and misfortune in their individual lives.
