That dates back to early Judeo-Christian mythology. In one of the Old Testament stories, snakes were sent out to chomp the Israelis for some slight or another against their god. Moses was then instructed to craft a snake and put it on a pole. And anyone who was chomped simply had to look at the snake and pole, and they would be cured.
