By creating a strong analogy within the professional medical literature between the United States and the ancient Mediterranean, and especially between Philadelphia and Athens, late eighteenth century American physicians helped to construct a neoclassical conceptualization of the national identity. Physicians in late eighteenth century Philadelphia used ancient medical theory -namely Hippocratic notions of environmental health, the writings of Galen on regimen, and Thucydides' description of social disintegration during the Athenian Plague- to understand and interpret the population health problems of their day.

Not only in politics and the arts, but also in the realm of medicine, individuals employed classical thought to suggest that the ancient, exalted civilizations of Greece and Rome had been reborn in North America. In the post-Revolutionary period, the United States bloomed with an interest in the classical world, as the nation collectively sought to define its sovereign identity against the models of ancient democracies and republics.
