Caduceus Medical Symbol - History, Meaning, and Modern Use #3056814 (License: Personal Use)

This clean vector illustration depicts the Caduceus, a symbol historically associated with Hermes (Mercury) in Greek and Roman mythology, later adopted by modern medicine-though incorrectly, as the Rod of Asclepius is the true medical symbol. The design features two intertwined serpents climbing a central staff topped with wings and a sphere, rendered in crisp white lines against a stark black background for high contrast and clarity.
