Esculapius-rodVariants: Esculapius-rod, Rod of Esculapius, Rod of Asclepius, Asclepius-Rod
A rod entwined by a snake, which was the form assumed by Esculapius the God of healing, when he was brought from Greece to Rome in a season of great sickness. Though examples are found with the head of the serpent facing the sinister, in heraldry the default should be to face the dexter.
