Description:
|
Ancient place of cult dedicated to Esculapio the God of the medicine, whose snake, was carried to Rome from Epidauro in order to vanquish a terrible plague in 293 b.C.. The snake slid from the boat, swam upstream, and made the island its home. As this was clearly a sign of divine intent a temple was built in honour of Esculapio. The island's shape suggests a ship and an obelisk was placed in the middle for a mast. To the Temple the first hospital of Rome was annexed, whose intense activity continues to our days
