Here's a Rod of Aesculapius, displayed on the facade of the old Barber Surgeons Hall in Newcastle upon Tyne, built in 1851. Aesculapius was the Greek god of medicine (as Asclepius), imported by the Romans during a plague epidemic in 292 BC. Aesculapius is associated with snakes, which represent healing. I have a whole Fabulous Folklore episode about him!

Pour a glass of wine and raise it to today in celebation of the god for 🍷

He has some advice on drinking:

“Three bowls only do I mix for the temperate — one to health, which they empty first, the second to love and pleasure, the third to sleep. When this is drunk up wise guests go home. The fourth bowl is ours no longer, but belongs to violence.”
Deipnosophistaí by Athenaios

I had just read Circe by Madeline Miller last year so I actually knew quite a few of these! Great book! And a wonderful (and thorough) article from you too!

But the adamant is stamped with figures of ill omen, and the amber, tears of ' daughters, is intertwined with plague.
