Statue of Asclepius - Greek God of Medicine and Healing #3016536 (License: Personal Use)

This Greco-Roman marble statue portrays Asclepius, god of medicine, with a muscular torso, flowing drapery, and a serene yet authoritative expression. He holds the caduceus-like rod with a single serpent, distinguishing it from Hermes’ double-serpent staff; the serpent rests near his sandaled foot on a rectangular plinth. The work reflects Hellenistic naturalism and was widely replicated in temples and healing sanctuaries across the Mediterranean.
