Historical Curiosities
In ancient Rome, the winged phallus was considered a powerful amulet against bad luck. It was widely used as protection from negative influences and as a symbol to attract luck and prosperity. This emblem, also known as "fascinum", was hung at the entrance of houses, worn as a pendant and used as a decoration on wagons and other places to protect from danger.
The wings added to the phallus reinforce the concept of connection with the divine and the supernatural. The ancient Romans believed that the winged phallus could bring blessings, and at the same time keep negative influences away.
