The Roman Empire, c. 100–200 AD
A fascinating ancient Roman amulet, this roughly cast lead axe offers a rare glimpse into Roman beliefs and symbolism. The small-sized figure likely served as a protective talisman, worn as an amulet or charm to ward off evil or bring strength to its wearer.
Axes, in various forms, were symbols of power and protection in Roman culture, making this amulet a striking reminder of the role of weaponry in both practical and spiritual life. Lead, being an easily worked material, made it ideal for crafting such personal, portable objects.
A unique and historically intriguing artifact, this Roman lead axe amulet would make a compelling addition to any collection of Roman or ancient amulets, as well as those interested in the intersection of spirituality and daily life in antiquity.
