Asclepius, the Roman statue of the Gods of Healing, stands as a testament to the power and reverence bestowed upon this deity. Created in the 4th century BC, this Classical Greek art sculpture embodies the divine essence of Asclepius. Telesphorus, a Roman Deity associated with recovery and convalescence, often accompanies Asclepius on his healing journeys. Together, they bring solace and relief to those in need. In a votive marble relief depicting Asclepius before a family of devotees, we witness the profound impact he has on their lives. His children stand by his side as symbols of hope and rejuvenation. From ancient times to modern conflicts like World War I, healers have emulated Asclepius' compassionate spirit. Just like the Red Cross Nurse who tirelessly cared for wounded soldiers during WWI or even today's healthcare professionals working selflessly amidst global crises. Even amongst gods themselves, Asclepius holds an esteemed position. In "The Council of Gods, " Zeus surrounds himself with divinities including our revered healer. This assembly recognizes his vital role in maintaining balance within humanity. Delving deeper into medical knowledge reveals intricate details about human anatomy that were discovered centuries ago. Engravings showcasing bones from the left hand's dorsal surface remind us of how far medicine has come since then. Moving away from ancient depictions but still within historical context is Harley Street in Marylebone captured through black and white photography. A place where medical expertise thrives alongside innovation and progress. Meanwhile, Cripplegate Ward in London is depicted through an engraving on a map - another reminder that healing extends beyond individual deities or practitioners; it encompasses entire communities coming together for collective well-being. Emporium Neapolis serves as yet another testament to Asclepius' influence across time and geography - here represented by an artifact dating back to 570 BC.
