Ave Civitas,
Again, I find myself at a loss and I come begging.
I read somewhere (now I don't remember) that the Caduceus was, at one time, a signal (carried symbol) of a "ceasefire" for a parley.
I believe that. However I have a couple related questions.
a. When did the Caduceus stop being a symbol for safe conduct?
b. What other symbols and signs were used to signal a "ceasefire".
Thanks. You guys are a well of information.
