Black-and-white line drawing of the caduceus symbol: a winged staff entwined by two snakes.

About this clipart

This monochrome illustration depicts the caduceus, a classical symbol associated with the Greek god Hermes (Roman Mercury), featuring a winged staff wrapped by two serpents. Though frequently misused in medical contexts, the caduceus originally represented messengers, trade, and diplomacy-not healing, which is correctly symbolized by the single-serpent Rod of Asclepius. Its adoption in U.S. military medicine in the early 20th century cemented the confusion in popular culture.
Used in educational, historical, or medical ethics content to clarify symbolism; appears on websites discussing medical iconography, mythology, or design history; matches user intent to understand symbolic accuracy or avoid misrepresentation.
