La interpretación del pensamiento de Empédocles ha estado perseguida desde la Antigüedad por la sombra del orfismo y el pitagorismo. Sin embargo, una vez prescindimos del sesgo de nuestras fuentes, no es difícil encontrar en los fragmentos de Empédocles profundas discrepancias con las ideas que sostenían estas doctrinas. El problema, en realidad, ha sido la dificultad para emplazar la obra de Empédocles dentro de su contexto político, cultural y religioso. En este artículo se realiza una nueva aproximación al pensamiento de Empédocles que toma en consideración los últimos avances en el campo de la investigación del ritual y el mito y las aportaciones más recientes de la histora y la arqueología de la antigua Akragas. Empédocles fue un poeta oral, y su obra fue compuesta para ser interpretada en el transcurso de un festival dedicado a las Purificaciones de Apolo. Este festival, que se celebraba en Akragas, seguía el esquema de mito y ritual del festival del Septerion que se celebraba cada ocho años en el santuario de Apolo en Delfos. El narrador del poema de Empédocles es Apolo, y el sentido de este poema debe ser interpretado en el contexto del movimiento de reforma política y religiosa que la presencia de los atenienses desencadenó en el santuario de Apolo en Delfos a finales del siglo VI a.C.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo demonstrar a importância da civilização grega na construção e evolução do conhecimento médico. O estudo ressalta a interdisciplinaridade da compreensão humana do período, sobretudo com o advento da filosofia, que permitiu a abertura de questionamentos sobre o universo e a responsabilidade exclusiva da religião sobre o processo saúde-doença, o que rompe com a crença de que seres ocultos e feitiços atuem como ocasionadores de enfermidade. Além disso, este artigo aborda a mitologia grega e a influência dela sobre as práticas médicas realizadas na Grécia Antiga, expondo a crença em Asclépio, centauro Quíron, Higéia e Panacéia nas atividades curativas. O estudo ainda discorre sobre Hipócrates, considerado pai da medicina e responsável por uma vasta coleção chamada Corpus Hipocraticum, conhecido mundialmente, e do qual herdamos o Juramento de Hipócrates, utilizado até os dias atuais para o ingresso na profissão médica.

Este artículo analiza la manera en que los autores de tres diccionarios biográficos islámicos medievales retrataron la vida y características de las tres figuras más destacadas de la medicina greco-romana: Asclepio, Hipócrates y Galeno. Se presta especial atención al vocabulario y al estilo empleado en las biografías, así como a su relación con otros géneros literarios o figuras. El análisis de estas biografías revela un considerable parecido entre el retrato de estos tres médicos greco-romanos y la vida de algunos profetas en el Islam, especialmente la del Profeta Muḥammad. Asimismo, estas biografías presentan elementos atribuidos a musulmanes piadosos. Este estudio demuestra que los biógrafos musulmanes construyeron esas biografías como parte de una tendencia general a asociar la medicina con el Islam y los orígenes del saber médico con la sabiduría profética. Igualmente, sostiene que las connotaciones y el uso de esa terminología particular permite una visión positiva de la ciencia de la medicina en las obras islámicas que les dieron cabida.

espanolMucho se ha escrito acerca del significado de las ultimas palabras de Socrates en el Fedon(118a7-8): “Criton, debemos un gallo a Asclepio. Pues bien, ipaguenselo! Y no se descuiden…”. En el presente trabajo nos proponemos retomar el enigma de la deuda con Asclepio a fin de rescatar cierto matiz politico presente en el. Para ello, tras resenar brevemente las principales interpretaciones que se han dado en el ultimo siglo, nos detendremos en la concepcion socratica del nacimiento y de la vida en tanto fenomenos eminentemente politicos para, a partir de alli, repensar el statusde su muerte en esa misma clave. EnglishMuch has been written about the meaning of the last words of Socrates in the Phaedo (118a7-8): “Crito, we owe a cock to Asclepius. Well, pay for it! And do not be neglec-ted...”. In the present paper we propose to return to the enigma of the debt with Asclepio in order to rescue certain political nuance present in it. For this, after briefly reviewing the main interpreta-tions that have occurred in the last century, we will analize the Socratic conception of birth and life as eminently political phenomena in order to rethink the status of his death.

7. Minor Hygieia. Iconographic Aspects of the Goddess in the Numismatic and Glyptic

Hygieia ,numismatica ,glittica ,iconografia ,Asclepio ,Archaeology ,CC1-960 - Abstract
This study aims at analyzing the different iconographic aspects of goddess Hygieia in Greek coinage and glyptic. For this purpose the coins and gems bearing the goddess’ representation have been divided into different iconographic typologies, inside which a careful examination of her iconographic attributes has been developed. The intent is to show, where possible, the symbolism and meanings that were attributed to these various images. Numismatic often allows to attest the presence of sanctuaries specifically dedicated to Hygieia in the different poleis and it shows how the Roman emperors and empresses, as long as their public life was concerned, frequently associated their own image with that of the goddess according to specific motivations, not least political ones. On the other hand, glyptic allows to point out how the image of Hygieia was employed in private life with a propitiatory purpose.

The colossal torso of the god Asclepius, kept into the Castello Maniace during the Spanish domination of Sicily, is now one of the most significant examples of roman statuary in the Syracuse Museum. The recent restoration of the Castello Maniace has been celebrated in 2008 with an exhibition of archaeological finds obtained in the various excavations of the castle. The statue of Asclepius, which had for centuries been a part of the architecture there, should have been the most significant piece on display. However, its large size and frailty made such a temporary move inadvisable, and it was decided that a plaster cast should be made and exhibited instead. A team of archaeologists and information technicians from the Archeomatica Project of Catania University were able to contribute to this task by creating a 3D model of the statue through the use of laser scanning techniques.

To access the final edited and published work see DOI 10.38125/OAJBS.000433 In the present work we are going to demonstrate how the references in one of the most important Greek Stelae from Epidaurus, that tells the case of two women, Cleó and Ithmónica, who have a pregnancy that lasts for years, can be identified with a pathology that today we call lithopedion. The difficulty in knowing when a woman became pregnant and how long a pregnancy lasted is a theme that is present in Greek medical literature. The writings of Hippocrates, Aristotle, and Soranus of Ephesus reveal this difficulty, and how we will see allude to a disease called mola. We identify this pathology with the formation of a lithopedion.

Las cesáreas han tenido un incremento explosivo en la mayoría de los países de ingresos altos y medios en años recientes. En América Latina los porcentajes de partos quirúrgicos alcanzan cifras de 30% en Brasil, 40% en Chile y 36% en México. En este ensayo se describe la relación de las cesáreas con diversas figuras mitológicas, se presenta una breve historia de esta operación y se discute el posible origen de su crecimiento reciente. Dentro de los factores relacionados con esta epidemia destacan los intereses económicos, la oferta de servicios especializados y la poca información que las mujeres embarazadas reciben respecto de las alternativas para el nacimiento de sus hijos. El trabajo concluye con un llamado al control de este tipo de intervenciones atendiendo a experiencias exitosas documentadas.Cesarean sections rates have increased considerably in high- and middle-income countries in recent years. In Latin America the rates of surgical births reached 30% in Brazil, 40% in Chile, and 36% in Mexico. This essay describes the relationship of cesarean section with several mythological characters, presents a brief history of surgical births, and discusses the possible origin of its explosive increase. Among the factors associated to this epidemic we can mention economic incentives, a mounting supply of specialists, and the lack of comprehensive information on birth alternatives for pregnant women.The essay concludes with a call for a generalized control of this procedure based on evidence gathered through different kinds of interventions.

- Abstract
O presente artigo propõe um esboço para uma fenomenologia do cansaço e do cansaço próprio à convalescência de uma doença, evocando a tradição médica grega de Asclépio e alguns aspectos da noção nietzschiana de convalescência (Genesung). Com base nessa descrição, discute o cansaço do homem contemporâneo, num mundo que exaure a vida não permitindo que a vida se canse e repouse. Esse texto foi escrito com base num diálogo não escrito com Frei Hermógenes Harada., The present article proposes a sketch to a phenomenology of exhaustion and the exhaustion and being-tired inherent to a disease, evoking the medical tradition in ancient Greece and some aspects of Nietzsche’s concept of convalescence (Genesung). Based on this description, the text discusses the being tired of contemporary man in a world that exhausts all life not letting life get tired and rest. This was written based on a non-written dialogue with Pater Hermógenes Harada.

Argomento dell’articolo sono i miti di Coronide e del figlio Asclepio nella Pitica 3 di Pindaro, in cui l’immagine del fuoco assume particolare rilievo in relazione ad entrambi. Asclepio è sottratto dal padre, Apollo, al corpo della madre che brucia sulla pira funeraria, e colpito dal fulmine di Zeus dopo aver cercato di riportare in vita un morto: il ciclo della sua esistenza – precedente alla divinizzazione – sembra pertanto replicare quello di Coronide, che si unisce ad un mortale mentre porta in grembo il figlio di Apollo, ed infrange la legge umana che prescrive i riti nuziali. Apollo causa quindi la sua morte attraverso l’intervento della sorella Artemide, che è detta θύοισα (‘furente’), con riferimento al ruolo di Dioniso a Delfi. La vicenda di Coronide è contrassegnata dall’immagine del fuoco, nella duplice accezione di fiamma che punisce ed annienta, e di luce che risplende evocando la divinità, ed illuminando i riti da lei negletti. Al contrario, per quanti rispettano gli dèi, consapevoli dei limiti della condizione umana, fuoco e luce evocano gli dèi e i doni che essi concedono agli uomini, come mostrano i riti dionisiaci e il mito di Dioniso, che offrono a Ierone, destinatario dell’ode, la speranza di continuare a vivere nella memoria dei posteri, grazie alla sua partecipazione ai Misteri. This paper is focused on the myths of Coronis and her son Asclepius in Pindar’s Pythian Ode 3, where the image of fire is particularly emphasised as a main link between them. Born – thanks to his father Apollo – through the fire that burns his mother’s corpse on the funeral pyre, and struck by Zeus’ lightenings after he had tried to bring a dead man back to life, Asclepius’ life-cycle – before divinization – seems to replicate Coronis’ one. In fact, she lies in bed with a mortal man while she is pregnant of Asclepius, Apollo’s son, and also breaks the human law of the wedding rites. Therefore Apollo causes her death, through the intervention of his sister Artemis. The goddess is said to be ‘furious’ (θύοισα), thus recalling the role of Dionysism in Delphi. Coronis’ fate is counterpointed by the image of fire, both as blaze that punishes and annihilates, and as light that divinely shines, and illuminates the rites she has neglected. On the contrary, for people who respect the gods and are aware of the limits of their human condition, fire and light are evocative of the gods and their gifts to mankind, as the Dionysiac rites and the myth of Dionysos show, offering to Hieron, the recipient of the ode, the hope of a life after death in the memory of pos-terity, thanks to his participation in Mystic rites.

It describes the transition from the devotion to Asclepius towards the Christian cult, represented by the replacement of the sanctuaries and by the medical techniques reoriented from the Greek god of Medicine towards Christ. In that sense, it emphasizes on the validity of the dreams of incubation among the first Christians and on literature close to ancient Israel. It also analyzes the reaction of the Fathers of the Church to the writings that denounce the infiltration of Hellenic paganism into the Christian faith. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

HISTORY of medicine , *CADUCEUS , *ASKLEPIOS (Greek deity) , *PHYSICIAN practice patterns , *HUMAN life cycle - Abstract
Introduction: Medicine history gives us the chance to reflect about the Caduceus as the synthesis of the dialectic of the sensible and spiritual life. This opens and horizon of comprehension and allow us to recover the legend of Asclepius and it's cult with the different symbolic elements that structure it. The legend: The historic and mythological references about Asclepius' existence gives structure to the legend in a real and not-real environment perduring in the occidental medicine tradition as a mystical reference to the deity for the medical practice. The cult: It's based in the incubation and synthesizes healing rites and therapeutical practices, as medical as surgical; exercise, sleep cures and amusement activities. The symbol: The linguistic origin of Asclepius' name, the symbolism of the legend protagonists and the iconographic representation of their attributes, converge in the Caduceus to represent the medical practices and ideas synthesis, all them related to the human life. Conclusion: Asclepius' perception transcends the Olympic divinity and situates him as the healing archetype; that's why Caduceus is consistent with the system-world representation that rules the actual medical practice.

The snake has been associated to healing arts since the ancient times, probably because its skin-change ability and to symbolize that sola dosis facit venenum. The Staff of Aesculapius and the caduceum derivate from worshipping the snake, it is undeniable that both mythological symbols originated from the Lite Tree, which represents wisdom and immortality. The inaccuracy of adopting the caduceum instead of the Staff of Aesculapius as the symbol of medicine comes from long time ago. Its probable origin can be traced back to representations from the Fall of Roman Empire, in which Aesculapius appears with two serpents but never with a caduceum. Hermes (Mercury) is the winged God, symbol of commerce and thieves, for this reason it should not be used as a representation of medical practice. The symbolic instrument that reflects values on Hippocratic ethics is the Staff of Aesculapius, for being the Greek God of Medicine. With the same precision that the cypress stick in semeiology represents preservation of life, the snake or snakes denotes wisdom. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this dissertation we propose to study some Epidaurian Greek inscriptions and its contra-intuitive cures promoted at the healing temple in the same city by the god Asklepius through of his hierophanies. We aim to analyze within the Greek imaginary the sickness like the path to the health and contra-intuitive cures, as well as to put in evidence within the Theory of Sacred of the Eliade all that evolves the questions about: myth and rites, hierophany and divinity power, and sacred and profane in the contents of the inscriptions. To reach this goal, we go through an analytical path that aimed to study the pilgrimage spirituality, religion, enchantment medicine, and the word as healing power, who is metonymically as the voice of divinity in the rituals of incubation. Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES Nesta dissertação propomos estudar as inscrições gregas de Epidauro e as curas contraintuitivas promovidas no templo de cura em mesma cidade pela divindade Asclépio por meio de suas hierofanias. Temos como objetivo analisar dentro do imaginário grego a doença como um caminho para a promoção da saúde e curas contraintuitivas, bem como evidenciar, dentro da teoria do Sagrado de Eliade, tudo o que envolve a questão de mito, rito, hierofania, divindade e sagrado/profano no conteúdo das inscrições. Para chegarmos a esse objetivo, percorremos um caminho analítico que visou estudar a espiritualidade peregrina, religião, medicina encantatória e a palavra como poder de cura, esta tida, por metonímia, como a voz da divindade nos rituais de incubação.

During the expedition and campaing across Asia, Alexander and his army had been involved in a lot of circunstances that deserved the attention of some professionals of the medicine. The relationship between Alexander's army and the Physicians is complex, and it is also a question to observe if there were in the army something like a medical unit. Nevertheless, the links between the Argeads and the practice of healing and medical arts and the professionals of medicine seems to have been usual in the Macedonian court. So, Alexander's episodes concerning his illness, and especially his habilities to heal or to help someone to be healed can be considered as a clue of the king's connections with Asclepius, and even more, of Alexander's use of this links to portrait himself as a healer, and in some way even as an incarnation of Asclepios, in his own way to divinization. Durante la expedición y campaña a través de Asia, Alejandro y su ejército estuvieron envueltos en un sinfín de circunstancias que requirieron la atención de ciertos profesionales de la medicina. La relación entre el ejército de Alejandro y los médicos es compleja, y cabe analizar si hubo una unidad médica en el ejército. Sin embargo, los vínculos entre los Argéadas y la práctica de la curación y las artes médicas y los profesionales de la medicina parece haver sido habitual en la corte macedonia. Así, ciertos episodios de Alejandro en relación con sus enfermedades, y especialmente sus habilidades para curar o para ayudar a alguien a ser curado pueden ser considerados como una prueba de la conexión del rey con Asclepio, y más aun, del uso de estos vínculos por Alejandro para representarse a sí mismo como curador, en tanto que encarnación de Asclepio, en su propio camino hacia la divinización.

En la nota temática que aquí se presenta se analizará la constitución del hombre que presenta el texto hermético Asclepio .El Asclepio o Discurso perfecto está destinado a los hombres en tanto discurso. Sin embargo, este no es un discurso cualquiera sino uno religioso y por esta característica especial sólo se permite ingresar a escuchar a unos pocos, para evitar profanarlo con la intervención de la multitud.En esa presentación se explica que el discurso dará el bien que reúne todos los bienes al alma del hombre que pueda comprenderlo. Así el hombre se ubica en un lugar central en tanto receptor del mensaje. Fil: Strok, Natalia Soledad. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas; Argentina

Plague ,Dietética ,Alimentação ,Dietetics ,Food ,Asclépio ,Hygieia ,Praga ,Asclepius - Abstract
This article examines the relationship between the incorporation of Hygieia to the family of Asclepius and the emergence of dietary medicine. Hygieia does not have its own myth, we know little about it, and almost nothing has been written on her. However, the late antiquity has left the reputation of one of the most powerful deities. It was she who mysteriously suggested the choice of foods and the appropriate remedies for the ills. Her deification and that of her father Asclepius are related to the plague of Athens that took place during the Peloponnesian War. But the success of this goddess reached more than classical Greece, becoming revered by the Romans. This shows that there was more than a concern with the return of the plague: it was the emergence of a society that cared about, health is the greater good., Este artigo analisa a relação entre a incorporação de Hygieia à família de Asclépio e o surgimento da medicina dietética. Hygieia não tem um mito próprio, pouco sabemos sobre ela, e quase nada foi escrito ao seu respeito. Porém, a antiguidade tardia legou a reputação de uma das divindades mais poderosas. É ela quem sugere a escolha dos alimentos e os remédios apropriados para os males. Sua deificação e a de seu pai Asclépio estão relacionadas com a praga de Atenas que ocorreu durante a Guerra do Peloponeso. Porém o sucesso desta deusa alcançou mais que a Grécia clássica, chegando a ser venerada pelos romanos. Isso revela mais que uma preocupação com a volta da praga: era o surgimento de uma sociedade, que se preocupava com a saúde como sendo o maior bem.

La taumaturgia en la medicina se halla ampliamente atestiguada en antiguos documentos judíos y cristianos. El milagro interactuaba con el acto terapéutico racionalmente orientado, configurando una téchne iatriké, no resulta sencillo separar magia, religión, filosofía y medicina. La categoría antropológica "hombre divino" (theiós anér), con base en la antigüedad clásica, respaldaba los relatos de milagros y se extendía sobre, Jesús de Nazareth y Apolonio de Tiana. Es posible extraer de la primera literatura cristiana, canónica y apócrifa, de los escritos del judaísmo post-bíblico, y de la filosofía helénica, ideas fundamentales sobre el dinamismo cósmico y la centralidad del hombre como campo de convergencia de esas fuerzas conjuradas por el que realiza la curación. Medical thaumaturgy has been broadly proved in old Jewish and Christian. Miracle interacted with the therapeutic act, rationally directed, configuring a téchne iatriké it was not simple to separate magic, religion, philosophy and medicine. The anthropologic concept "divine man" (theiós anér), with basis on the Classical Age, supported of miracle stories and was associated with Jesus of Nazareth and Apollonius of Tyana. It is possible to extract from Christian literature, canonical and apocryphal, from post-biblical writing of Judaism and Hellenic philosophy; fundamental ideas of cosmic dynamism and the centrality of man as convergence point of these forces of healing.

Asclépio ,Espaço onírico ,Cura ,CIENCIAS HUMANAS::HISTORIA [CNPQ] - Abstract
Mudanças profundas marcaram a sociedade grega a partir do século IV a. C.. As diversas conquistas, guerras e epidemias alteraram drasticamente a postura do grego em relação a sua vida pública, a sua concepção de deuses e, consequentemente, a construção de seus espaços, sejam eles profanos ou sagrados. Através das fontes, percebemos que o culto do deus Asclépio se tornou bastante popular, neste contexto, sobretudo, graças à maneira peculiar que o deus se relacionava com seus devotos, através de sonhos. Sabemos que o sonho era tido, para os gregos, como um espaço de existência real, era um espaço sagrado, e poderia ser acessado nos rituais de cura de Asclépio. O nosso trabalho se propõe, deste modo, a compreender o curioso e peculiar espaço onírico, principalmente através das inscrições, das estruturas arquitetônicas do santuário e dos textos antigos que fazem referência ao contexto do período, pois entendemos que este espaço foi a condição essencial para a popularização do culto, pois colocava o indivíduo em contato direto com a divindade, numa rara proximidade entre homens e deuses admitida pelo imaginário grego até então Profound changes have marked Greek society from the fourth century B.C.. Conquests, wars and epidemics altered drastically the Greek’s posture regarding his public life, his conception of gods and hence the construction of their spaces, whether sacred or profane. Through the fonts, we perceived that the cult of god Asklepeios turned very popular, in this context, for the peculiar way that the god relates to his devotees, through the dreams. We know that the dream was held, for the Greeks, as a space of real existence, it was sacred, and could be accessed in the healing rituals of Asklepios. Our work intends, thereby, to understand the curious and peculiar oniric space, mainly through the inscriptions, architectural structures of the sanctuary and the ancient texts that refer to the context of the period, because we understand that this space was the essential condition for the popularization of the cult, it placed the individual in direct contact with the divinity, a rare closeness between men and gods accepted by the greek imagery until then.

This paper examines the way authors of three medieval Islamic biographical dictionaries portrayed the lives, behavior and characteristics of three key figures of Greco-Roman medicine, Asclepius, Hippocrates and Galen. Particular attention was given to the vocabulary and phrasing used in the biographies, and associations with other literary genres or figures. An analysis of these biographies demonstrates a significant resemblance between the portrayal of these Greco-Roman physicians and the lives of prophetic figures in Islam, and especially that of the Prophet Muḥammad. In addition, these biographies align with features attributed to pious Muslims. This study demonstrates that Muslim biographers constructed these biographies as part of a general tendency to associate medicine with Islam, and the origins of medical knowledge with prophetic wisdom. This study mantains that the connotations and use of this particular terminology allows for a positive view of the science of medicine in these Islamic compositions in which they were included., Este artículo analiza la manera en que los autores de tres diccionarios biográficos islámicos medievales retrataron la vida y características de las tres figuras más destacadas de la medicina greco-romana: Asclepio, Hipócrates y Galeno. Se presta especial atención al vocabulario y al estilo empleado en las biografías, así como a su relación con otros géneros literarios o figuras. El análisis de estas biografías revela un considerable parecido entre el retrato de estos tres médicos greco-romanos y la vida de algunos profetas en el Islam, especialmente la del Profeta Muḥammad. Asimismo, estas biografías presentan elementos atribuidos a musulmanes piadosos. Este estudio demuestra que los biógrafos musulmanes construyeron esas biografías como parte de una tendencia general a asociar la medicina con el Islam y los orígenes del saber médico con la sabiduría profética. Igualmente, sostiene que las connotaciones y el uso de esa terminología particular permite una visión positiva de la ciencia de la medicina en las obras islámicas que les dieron cabida.

Esculapio ,Mediterraneo ,Africa romana ,Asclepio - Abstract
Nell'Africa romana Esculapio è considerato rappresentare una diretta filiazione da Eshmun, in accordo con un'interpretazione che vuole alto il grado di incidenza della tradizione punica nel pantheon e nelle forme del culto. Nei territori sottoposti al controllo di Cartagine, o da essa influenzati, l'entità religiosa "autenticamente" fenicio-punica, combinata con il sostrato berbero, si sarebbe mantenuta "vigorosa e inalterata''. Meglio, si assisterebbe alla convivenza di due tipi di divinità, distinti e ben caratterizzati: un dio "erede dei costumi libico-berberi, il successore di Eshmun della Cartagine punica" e un dio "banalmente greco-romano", di schietta ascendenza ellenica, pervenuto in Africa attraverso i colonie i militari. Dalla verifica di questa ipotesi, condotta attraverso il riesame di alcune fonti – letterarie (Apuleio), epigrafiche (in particolare le iscrizioni che documentano il sacerdozio del dio}, figurative - , il quadro che emerge è differente: l'Esculapio dell'Africa di età imperiale presenta i tratti codificati della tradizione greco-romana. Va anche tenuto presente che già negli ultimi secoli di vira di Cartagine punica il dio di Sidone era stato sottoposto a un radicale processo di ellenizzazione: l'identificazione di Eshmun con Esculapio andò di pari passo con il rafforzamento del suo carattere di divinità salutare e guaritrice. Entro queste coordinare va pertanto valutata l'incidenza che, in determinaci e circoscritti aspetti del culto, la facies fenicio-punica della divinità può aver avuto sull'Esculapio africano. Le caratteristiche dei contesti in cui, in forme differenti, si è praticato il culto di Esculapio permettono di ricostruire il profilo di una divinità di natura essenzialmente salutare. Esculapio è il medicinarum demomtrator del cartaginese Tertulliano, è il custos et praeses sanitatis, valetudinis et salutis dell'africano Arnobio, è il peritissimus medicus di Agostino. Non diversamente che nelle altri parti dell'impero, I'Esculapio "africano" si è specializzato negli studi di medicina.

Introduction: Medicine history gives us the chance to reflect about the Caduceus as the synthesis of the dialectic of the sensible and spiritual life. This opens and horizon of comprehension and allow us to recover the legend of Asclepius and it’s cult with the different symbolic elements that structure it. The legend: The historic and mythological references about Asclepius’ existence gives structure to the legend in a real and not-real environment perduring in the occidental medicine tradition as a mystical reference to the deity for the medical practice. The cult: It’s based in the incubation and synthesizes healing rites and therapeutical practices, as medical as surgical; exercise, sleep cures and amusement activities. The symbol: The linguistic origin of Asclepius’ name, the symbolism of the legend protagonists and the iconographic representation of their attributes, converge in the Caduceus to represent the medical practices and ideas synthesis, all them related to the human life. Conclusion: Asclepius’ perception transcends the Olympic divinity and situates him as the healing archetype; that’s why Caduceus is consistent with the system-world representation that rules the actual medical practice. Introducción: La historia de la medicina posibilita reflexionar sobre el caduceo como la síntesis de la dialéctica de la vida sensible y la espiritual. Esto abre un horizonte de comprensión y permite recuperar la leyenda de Esculapio y su culto con los diferentes elementos simbólicos que la componen. La leyenda: Los referentes históricos y mitológicos de la existencia de Esculapio dan consistencia a la leyenda en un ámbito de realidad y ficción perdurando en la tradición médica occidental como el referente místico de la deidad para el ejercicio de la medicina. El culto: Se basa en la «incubación» y sintetiza ritos de sanación y prácticas terapéuticas, tanto médicas como quirúrgicas, además de ejercicio, curas de sueño y actividades recreativas. El símbolo: El origen lingüístico de su nombre, el simbolismo de los actores de la leyenda y la representación iconográfica de sus atributos, convergen en el caduceo para representar la síntesis de ideas y prácticas médicas asociadas con la vida humana. Conclusiones: La imagen de Esculapio trasciende la divinidad del olimpo y se sitúa como el arquetipo de la curación; por tanto, el caduceo es consistente con la representación de un sistema-mundo que domina el ejercicio de la medicina contemporánea.

- Abstract
[EN] The colossal torso of the god Asclepius, kept into the Castello Maniace during the Spanish domination of Sicily, is now one of the most significant examples of roman statuary in the Syracuse Museum. The recent restoration of the Castello Maniace has been celebrated in 2008 with an exhibition of archaeological finds obtained in the various excavations of the castle. The statue of Asclepius, which had for centuries been a part of the architecture there, should have been the most significant piece on display. However, its large size and frailty made such a temporary move inadvisable, and it was decided that a plaster cast should be made and exhibited instead. A team of archaeologists and information technicians from the Archeomatica Project of Catania University were able to contribute to this task by creating a 3D model of the statue through the use of laser scanning techniques., [ES] El busto colosal del dios Asclepio, que estaba antiguamente colocado en el interior del Castello Maniace durante la dominación española en Sicilia, es ahora uno de los ejemplos más significativos de estatuas romanas del museo de Siracusa. La reciente restauración del Castello Maniace ha sido celebrada en el 2008 con una gran muestra de los objetos encontrados durante las excavaciones en el castillo. La estatua de Asclepio, que por muchos siglos fue parte del castillo, habría sido la obra más importante que se exhibiera. Sin embargo, la fragilidad del material y el gran tamaño de la misma no han permitido su desplazamiento así que ha sido necesario la realización de una copia de la estatua. El equipo de arqueólogos e informáticos del proyecto Archeomatica de la Universidad de Catania, han creado, usando un escaneo 3D, el modelo virtual de la estatua que permitirá la realización de una copia.
