  17. Rod of Asclepius • Asclepius, the son of Apollo, who was a practitioner of medicine in ancient Greek mythology.

  18. Biblical relevance of Rod of Asclepius (Numbers 21:6-9) Then the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people, so that many people of Israel died. And the people came to Moses and said, "We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD and against you. Pray to the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us." So Moses prayed for the people. And the LORD said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole, and everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live." Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on a pole. And if a serpent bit anyone, he would look at the bronze serpent and live.

  19. Caduceus • The caduceus is the staff carried by Hermes in Greek mythology. • By extension of its association with Mercury/Hermes, the caduceus is also a recognized symbol of commerce and negotiation.
