The Caduceus is a symbol of commerce and negotiation typically associated with the Greek god Hermes. In architecture, it is often used as a decorative element on buildings associated with commerce, such as banks, stock exchanges, and financial institutions. It represents business and the exchange of goods and money. However, it is important to note that the Caduceus is often confused with the Rod of Asclepius which is the traditional symbol of medicine and healing.
