This ancient sign includes the Caduceus, the double snake, which dates this depiction of Ophiuchus.
该古代标记包括了墨丘利的节杖-------双蛇,这是对蛇夫星座的描绘。
While probably originating in Mesopotamia, the caduceus found its way eastward to India and westward into the Mediterranean.
墨丘利的节杖可能起源于美索不达米亚,并且一路往东流传到了印度,往西则流传到了地中海。
Unfortunately, although both the staff of aesculapius and the caduceus are in use, only one of them has a historical connection with the practice of medicine.
