aesculapius

Aesculapius was the god of medicine in Greek and Roman mythology. Snakes were the god’s sacred emblems, and the god was believed to be incarnate in them. According to myth, the chief god Zeus struck him with a lightning bolt for daring to bring the dead back to life.

The aesculapian symbol above the door marked the building as a hospital.

Personal Comentary:

Oh bleh, a word whose definition is entirely dependent on another. However, I suppose most adjectives are at some point. It’s good to know for mythology and any campagin set on earth. If your not playing on earth, find your healing deity and use his/her holy symbol in a similar fashion.
