Rome
Galen wrote most of his enormous corpus here as physician to emperors, and Plotinus taught here in the 260s. A thousand years later Rome was a translation site again: Nathan ha-Me'ati made the Hebrew Canon of Medicine here in 1279, and the Medici Oriental Press printed the Arabic text of the Canon here in 1593.
