[Bonetools] Bone Amulets from Stobi

[Zlatko]

Dear Lóránt, 

You and Mr. Feugere are right.  They are the same phallic amulet. The three
amulets from Stobi, are discovered in burials of infants, approx. 6 months
old. Thank you for pointing out you paper “Is that not charming? Fascinum in
Aquincum – Protection against Evil Eye. Phallic Amulets in
a Roman City. It is of great help and I enjoy reading it. 
Thank you once again, 

Yours,

Dear Zlatko,
I share Mr.?Feug?re's opinion about the phallic amulet. They appear quite
frequent in infant or female graves in Roman period, usually in the
Late-Republic-Early Imperial Age, and they are found many times associated
with other amulets of various raw material as part of crepundia (apotropaic
necklaces worn by little children to avert the look of the Evil Eye). I have
also found something similar in Aquincum in a cremation grave. Although it
does not look exactly like yours, we can consider it a later version of the
same morphological type.
