For the Romans, the winged phallus – known as the ‘fascinum’ – was not only a
symbol of fertility and thus of wealth and prosperity; it was generally regarded as a bringer of good fortune capable of warding off evil, particularly the evil eye.
For this reason, phallus pendants—with and without wings—were worn even
by children as protective amulets and were sometimes attached to the horse harnesses of Roman officers.
In some parts of Italy, a small crescent-shaped charm is still worn
around the neck today as a good-luck charm, the origins of which can be traced back to those Roman phallus pendants.
The Romans’ flying phallic pendants were not associated with
anything obscene, for in antiquity sexuality was not regarded as something sinful, but quite the opposite: as something positive and a source of blessing.
