ROD OF ASCELPIUS Genuine Ancient Roman Coin 2nd Cent AD Silver Pendant

Celebrate the timeless heritage of medicine with this exquisite sterling silver pendant, featuring an authentic bronze Roman coin from the reign of Emperor Caracalla (198–217 AD). The obverse (front) of the coin depicts the rod of Asclepius, entwined with a serpent—a symbol of healing, medical knowledge, and the dedication of healthcare professionals throughout history. The reverse (back) bears the profile of Emperor Caracalla, linking the wearer to the legacy of Roman imperial artistry.

In Greek mythology, Asclepius, son of Apollo and Coronis, was revered as the god of medicine. His daughters—Hygieia, Laso, Aceso, Aegle, and Panacea—personified health, recovery, and the different aspects of wellness. The rod of Asclepius has endured through millennia as the universal emblem of healing and medical care.
