What is the Caduceus Medical Symbol?
The caduceus, a staff with two snakes coiled around it, is the official insignia of the United States Medical Corps, Navy Pharmacy Division, and the Public Health Service.
The Caduceus
The caduceus was a staff carried by the Greek deity Hermes, and his Roman counterpart Mercury, who were both the gods of messengers and travels.
The object is a winged staff, entwined by two serpents. In more modern times it would become a symbol of medicine.
Hermes with Caduceus
By extension of its association with Mercury and Hermes, the caduceus is also a recognized symbol of commerce and negotiation, two realms in which balanced exchange and reciprocity are recognized as ideals. This association is ancient, and consistent from the Classical period to modern times.
The caduceus is also used as a symbol representing printing, again by extension of the attributes of Mercury (in this case associated with writing and eloquence).
Origin of the Caduceus and Moses Connection
Moses creates the Caduceus
According to the Old Testament, the Caduceus was created by Moses at the command of the Lord.
This story takes place in
Numbers 21: 4-9.
This story takes place in
Numbers 21: 4-9.
The people came to Moses and said, “We sinned when we spoke against the Lord and against you. Pray that the Lord will take the snakes away from us.” So Moses prayed for the people. The Lord said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.” So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived."
Numbers 21: 7-9
The modern use of staff of Aesculapius started when The American Medical Association had the staff of Aesculapius as its symbol in 1910. The Royal Army Medical Corp, French Military Service, and other medical organizations had done the same.

Even today the World Health Organization, Medical Council of India symbols have the staff of Aesculapius in them. US Army Medical Corps, the Public Health Service, and the US Marine Hospital however use the Caduceus largely as a result of the adoption of the Caduceus as its insignia by the US Army Medical Corps in 1902.
