About the Item

A finely cast Roman bronze phallic amulet from the 1st to 2nd century AD, this diminutive yet powerful artifact embodies the deeply rooted Roman tradition of apotropaic symbolism. Known as a fascinum, such objects were widely believed to ward off evil spirits and the malevolent gaze of the evil eye while promoting fertility, prosperity, and protection. Formed in solid bronze with great precision and a robust suspension loop, the amulet boasts a smooth, dark patina—naturally acquired over centuries—that underscores its authenticity and antiquity. Its compact size suggests it was likely worn as a pendant or attached to a personal item for continuous protection. Details: Culture: Roman Empire Period: 1st–2nd Century AD Material: Bronze Dimensions: 3 cm x 1 cm (1.18 in x 0.39 in) Condition: Very good; with a stable, uniform patina and minor surface wear consistent with age. An evocative piece of ancient superstition and personal devotion, this amulet is both a conversation piece and a collectible link to Rome’s rich symbolic heritage. Ideal for display or addition to a curated collection of ancient artifacts.
