Aesculapius, Greek God of Medicine and Healing

Asclepius (Aesculapius) is the God of Medicine and Healing in ancient Greek religion. Asclepius represents the healing aspect of the medical arts. The rod of Asclepius, a snake-entwined staff, remains a symbol of medicine today (not to be confused with the caduceus, or staff with two snakes). Some historians have proposed that there may have been a historical Asclepius during the Greek Dark Ages, who became the subject of a Hero cult and on whom the mythological character was based. Full length figure of Aesculapius, wearing Grecian robe, and holding staff with sacred serpent. Standing beside a pillar with a cock on top. A small dog lies at his feet. The picture is within a decorated border.
