The symbol of Asclepius is a serpent-entwined staff, known as the Rod of Asclepius. It is often used as the symbol of medicine and healthcare, representing healing and medical arts. The Rod of Asclepius is distinct from the caduceus, which is another symbol featuring a staff with two snakes.
The symbol for medicine (aka - health) is caduceus. Caduceus is the legendary wand of the Greek God, Hermes (the Roman God equivalent was Mercury) - this famous symbol is a staff entwined by twin serpents. Initially, the symbol meant harmony and balance.
The Caduceus (a staff with two snakes intertwined around it and wings) was confused with the Rod of Asclepius (a staff with a single snake curling around it). The Greek God Asclepius was the god of medicine and healing. Ironically, Mercury (or Hermes), the god who wielded the Caduceus was associated with taking people to Hades after death. Technically, the Caduceus should be more associated with death than healing!
The caduceus is a symbol of Hermes, the Greek god of trade, eloquence, and messenger of the gods. It consists of a winged staff with two entwined serpents, and is often used as a symbol of commerce and negotiation.
The caduceus is the symbol of two snakes entwined around a winged staff. The staff is generally recognized as the symbol of the Greek messenger god Hermes. In earliest Greek myth, the caduceus was held by Iris, the messenger of Hera, but eventually Hermes took Iris' place in Greek myth. In modern times, the caduceues is sometimes mistakenly thought of as the symbol for medicine. That symbol is actually the Rod of Asclepius, and is a single snake entwined around a (non-winged) staff.
