staff of Asclepius n. (also rod of Asclepius, wand of Asclepius, Asclepius staff, etc.) a representation of a staff with a snake coiled around its length, as a symbol of medicine and (later also) medical organizations.Asclepius, a physician and god of healing in Greek (and hence Roman) mythology, is typically portrayed holding a staff of this type. The symbol has been interpreted as alluding to the renewal and regeneration implied by the snake's shedding of its skin, or to its dual associations with life and death, among other theories. However, these remain conjectural.In ancient Rome, Asclepius was also known as Aesculapius; cf. staff of Aesculapius n. at Aesculapius n. 2.
