Historical Curiosities
In ancient Rome and, in particular, in Pompeii, the winged phallus was a powerful symbol of fertility, prosperity and protection against the evil eye. The Romans firmly believed in the protective power of the phallus, so much so that they included it in amulets, wall decorations and even in everyday objects.
The wings of the phallus symbolized the speed with which negative influences were rejected, making these amulets particularly popular. Wearing a symbol like this meant protection and luck, fundamental elements in the life of the ancient Romans. Archaeological excavations in Pompeii have brought to light numerous examples of winged phalluses, many of which are now exhibited in the main museums of the world, such as the Archaeological Museum of Naples.
