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.
