Abstract

It’s know by the roman writers that people was very superstitious and they had a great variety of amulets and protective objects. One of their greatest fears was the evil eye and they were protected themselves against it with fascinum or phallic representations. These representations are very high in the Roman world emphasizing among them the winged amulets that took to the neck, mainly childs and phallus-fist own of the soldiers. In addition, the girls were protected from evil spirits and ill-intentioned geniuses by lunulae, crescent-shaped pendant which are found since Bronce age. In the roman city of Colonia Clunia Sulpicia (Peñalba de Castro, Burgos, Spain) many sampled of this magic-protectived practices are recuperated. We would like to make known two fascinum and two lunulae.
