The Greatest Wealth Is Health
In Greek mythology, the Rod of Asclepius is a serpent-entwined rod wielded by the Greek god Asclepius, a deity associated with healing and medicine.
The symbol has continued to be used in modern times, where it is associated with medicine and health care.
It is sometimes confused with the similar Caduceus (which has two snakes).
