Caduceus, computer artwork. The caduceus is an ancient symbol that is often associated with the medical profession. It is often confused with the rod of Asclepius symbol, which has no wings and only one snake. In their logos, professional medical associations mainly use the rod of Asclepius, while commercial organisations use the caduceus. Confusion over the two symbols arose when the caduceus was adopted as a logo by the Medical Department of the United States Army in 1902.
