An apothecary was a shop attended to by a doctor which dispensed medicine to physicians, surgeons, and patients. They were most prevalent during the Renaissance, when they were found in most European cities, and served as a precursor to modern pharmacies.[1]
In the 15th century, Monteriggioni had its own apothecary, while in cities like Florence or Rome doctors were often standing on the street by a portable apothecary stand. For 50 florins, they helped the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze with his ailments, or he could buy a bottle of medicine for 75 florins.[2][3] During the same period, the Spanish Assassins had their own apothecary at their headquarters, where they crafted medicine to treat their injured members.[4]
Apothecaries were also present in Constantinople in the early 16th century, although most of them were forced to shut down their businesses by the Templars. After Ezio removed the Templars' influence and renovated the stores, the apothecaries could treat the Assassin's ailments or sell him medicine at a discount.[5]
During the French Revolution, apothecaries existed in Paris, although Assassins like Arno Dorian preferred procuring their medicines from black market merchants.[6] In 1791, the Master Assassin Pierre Bellec threatened an apothecary into supplying him with aconite, which he used to poison the Mentor Mirabeau.[7]
