HYGIEIA 2020 Samoa 155g piedfort antiqued copper coin: Hygieia was imported by the Romans as the goddess Valetudo, the goddess of personal health, but in time she started to be increasingly identified with the ancient Italian goddess of social welfare, Salus.

We all hope the goddess of health and her serpent (the enduring symbol Western medicine) can protect everyone’s health.
