Hermes' staff is called the caduceus. It is typically depicted as a staff entwined with two snakes and topped with wings. In mythology, the caduceus symbolizes commerce and negotiation and is often associated with Hermes as the messenger of the gods. Although sometimes confused with the Rod of Asclepius, which represents medicine, the caduceus is primarily linked to trade and communication.
