Diadumenian, mid May - 8 June 218 A.D., Nikopolis ad Istrum, Moesia Inferior
Hygieia (Salus to the Romans) was the goddess of health. She was the daughter of Aesculapius, the god of medicine and healing, and Epione, the goddess of soothing of pain. Her father Asclepius learned the secrets of keeping death at bay after observing one snake bringing another snake healing herbs. Woman seeking fertility, the sick, and the injured slept in his temples in chambers where non-poisonous snakes were left to crawl on the floor and provide healing.BB63330.
