ROMAN COINS HONORING AESCULAPIUS
"Roman Coin Esculapius " (see related A | B | C | D | E | F | G)
The frequency of representation of Aesculapius in Roman coins underscore the importance of Medicine in those days. Galen was then a well known physician. These facts are reflected in "Galeno" which in Spanish is a synonym of "medico" or physician.
Once, Mercury (the protector of thieves) tempted Aesculapius with money to help a merchant. The symbiosis of Medicine with Ethics was challenged and Zeus opted to incinerate Aesculapius. Eventually, Aesculapius was deified for his services to humanity.
