Antiocheia, Pisidia, 138 - 192 A.D.
|Pisidia|, |Antiocheia,| |Pisidia,| |138| |-| |192| |A.D.|, The rooster heralded the soul of the dead and was a guide to the underworld. This is why roosters were ritually sacrificed to Asclepios, son of Apollo and god of medicine, the god who healed and even brought the dead back to life. This also explains why the rooster is attributed to Hermes, the messenger who travels the three levels of the cosmos.
