Below is info regarding the Hermes guy on your badge..
Hermes (
/ˈhɜːrmiːz/;
Greek: Ἑρμῆς) is a
deity in
Ancient Greek religion and
mythology. Son of Zeus. Hermes is cunning and clever, agile and tricky, resourceful and wily, dreamer, thief and flatterer, energetic and restless are some of his key features. He is the god of financial gain, commerce, eloquence, messages, communication (including
divination), travelers, boundaries, luck, trickery and thieves; he also serves as the guide of souls to the underworld....His name is probably derived from
herma (
see herm), the Greek word for a heap of stones, such as was used in the country to indicate boundaries or as a landmark.
He is often depicted holding the
caduceus in his left hand. Similar to his
Greek equivalent Hermes, he was awarded the caduceus by
Apollo who handed him a magic wand, which later turned into the caduceus. In Roman iconography, it was often depicted being carried in the left hand of
Mercury, the
messenger of the gods, guide of the dead, and protector of merchants, shepherds, gamblers, liars, and thieves. Some accounts suggest that the oldest known imagery of the caduceus has its roots in a Mesopotamian origin with the Sumerian god
Ningishzida; whose symbol, a staff with two snakes intertwined around it, dates back to 4000 BC to 3000 BC.
Its similarity to the staff of
Asclepius the healer (a staff branched at the top and entwined by a single serpent) resulted in modern times in the adoption of the caduceus as a symbol of the physician and as the emblem of the U.S. Army Medical Corps.
The caduceus is often incorrectly used
as a symbol of healthcare organizations and medical practice.
