Description
Happy New Year 2017 !!
Ancient Romans considered male genitals bearers of good luck and wealth. In the foundations of every important building or of a bridge they carved the image of a penis as a good luck talisman, and legionnaires wore chains with small penises, winged or plain, as a luck charm hanging from the neck. Similar bronze objects hung from chandeliers in the form of tintinnabula (small bells) and their silvery sound chased away the evil eye. So here's a Roman luck charm for you, found in the foundations of a Roman castrum (military camp).
HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR !!

I am sure it's never too late, to send my best wishes to you, for the New Year Flavia, (I must have missed this one somehow ?) Thanks for the thought of old traditions, I also used to own a silver necklace with a pendant just like that, go figure ?
