PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

This museum-quality print of Asclepius, the ancient Greek god of medicine, is expertly reproduced from a historic artifact found in Ostia Antica. Presented in a premium wooden frame, it combines classical artistry with durable craftsmanship, making it an exceptional piece for collectors and history enthusiasts seeking to enrich their space with authentic cultural heritage.

OUR NARRATIVE

In the pantheon of ancient gods, Asclepius is lesser known; and yet his serpent entwined staff is often used today as a symbol of medicine. Other familiar words such as Panacea and Hygiene originate from the names of his daughters. Unsurprisingly, Asclepius was the god of medicine and healing. Born the mortal son of Apollo, mythology has it that Zeus struck him down for his powers and presumption, but raised him again as a deity.

From Epidaurus in Greece to here at Ostia Antica near Rome, I have encountered his image, so clearly belief in his powers spanned continents, centuries and civilisations … and his symbolism remains quietly with us today.
