Who had red and white staffs in ancient times?

  1. Physicians

  2. Kings

  3. Priests

  4. Barber Surgeons

The correct answer is: Barber Surgeons

During ancient times, red and white symbolized blood and bandages, thus typically associated with medical practice. Physicians, while knowledgeable in medicine, did not usually carry staffs as they were not associated with a particular institution. Kings may have had staffs, but they were typically adorned with jewels or other decorative elements, not specifically red and white. Priests may have carried staffs, but these were typically seen as symbols of their authority and were not limited to just red and white. Barber Surgeons, on the other hand, had staffs with red and white stripes to symbolize their dual role as both a barber and surgeon. Therefore, D is the correct answer.
