Asclepius in Pergamon

The Coronavirus pandemic still has us firmly in its grip, and the importance of health and wellness is currently playing a major role in public awareness. In ancient times, Asclepius was the god of healing for the Greeks. After the eminent sanctuary was erected in Epidauros, other sanctuaries to this deity were founded in the 5th century BC at suitable locations in Sikyon and Athens and in the 4th century BC in Kos, Erythrai, and Pergamon. The sanctuary of Asclepius in Pergamon, located at a slightly radioactive spring at the base of its acropolis hill, has been an important site since prehistoric times.
