The cult of the healing medical deities, of Aesculapius and Hygieia, originated in Greece. On several Pannonian inscriptions the name of the god figures in its original form as Asklepios. The attribute of the deity is the caduceus, a staff with a snake around it; one of the peculiarities of his cult was that the ailing persons restored to health offered as votive objects small copies of their healed limbs made of wood or ceramics. The votives were laid down in the sacred grove of the deity before the statue of Aesculapius or hung on the branches of the surrounding trees. The temple of the divine couple was situated generally at the spring group of an aqueduct, as in Aquincum, where in the sacred area next to a platform temple 14 chapels, inscribed altars and wall remains of the hospital were unearthed. K.P. 53. Altar of Aesculapius and Hygieia Abacus and left upper corner of the ledge are broken. Ledge and pediment are manifoldly profiled. It bears the inscription: Asclepio et \ Hygiae \ C.
