Caduceus Medical Symbol - Meaning, History, and Modern Use in Healthcare #3018503 (License: Personal Use)

This high-resolution 3D rendering depicts a classic caduceus: a golden staff entwined by two serpents, topped with a pair of outstretched wings and a sphere. Though historically associated with Hermes (Mercury) in Greek and Roman mythology, the caduceus has been adopted-sometimes erroneously-in American medical contexts since the early 20th century. Its polished metallic finish and symmetrical design convey professionalism, authority, and healing.
