Question

Did you know? Hermes was the Greek messenger god — with winged sandals and a staff with two snakes (caduceus). He was also patron of thieves, travellers and merchants. The Roman equivalent was Mercury; the modern symbol of medicine (the Rod of Asclepius, with one snake) is still often confused with his caduceus.
