For the Romans, the winged phallus, the so-called fascinum, was not only a sign of fertility and thus emblematic of wealth and prosperity, it was also generally regarded as a bringer of salvation that could ward off evil, especially the evil eye.

For this reason, phallic pendants with and without wings were even worn by children as protective amulets and were sometimes even attached to the harnesses of Roman officers.

In some areas of Italy, a small horn is still worn around the neck as a good luck charm, the origin of which goes back to those Roman phallic pendants.

An obscene content was not connected with the flying phallus pendants of the Romans because in antiquity sexuality was not seen as something sinful, but quite the opposite, as something positive and blessing-giving.
