Weight: 8 kg The Snaked Altar, situated atop a marble column at the entrance square of the Ancient City of Asclepion, holds the distinction of being recognized as the earliest symbol of medicine and pharmacy. The altar's prominent position within the Asclepion complex highlights its importance in the context of ancient medical practices.
