To ward off the evil eye, the Romans placed at the entrance of homes these tintinnabula, a phallic-like bells. The male body was considered a talisman of fertility and prosperity, and also served to ward off evil spirits.
The noise emitted by a bell is also considered a powerful charm that attracted the favor of the good gods. Therefore, the combination of the two objects became the guardian tintinnabulum a highly desirable, also used around the neck of some babies.
Many of these bells appeared among the ruins of Pompeii, but its sexual connotation meant that for years have been held in the "secret cabinet" at the Museum of Naples, which was accessible only with special permits
