Amulet pendant in the shape of a crescent moon.
In ancient Rome, the lunula (plural: lunulae) was a pendant amulet carried by girls and women until the day of their wedding. Its properties are related to fertility and healing, as well as offering protection against the evil eye.
The wheel-shaped finials and the crescent pendant, symbolic of the sun and moon, that decorate this necklace are found in jewelry from a hoard found in Britain dated to the mid-second century and in depictions on Roman mummy portraits from Egypt.
