staff of ?sculapius

0.03 sec.

staff of Ӕsculapius,

a staff carried by Ӕsculapius, the Greek god of medicine. It is used as the traditional symbol of the physician. A single serpent entwines the staff of Ӕsculapius. It is often confused with the caduceus, a staff with two serpents (which is the staff of Hermes, the Greek god of commerce and travel), symbolizing (because of this misunderstanding) the U.S. Army Medical Corps. See also Ӕsculapius.
