Charm Beads and Amulets Linked to Magic in the Greco-Roman World
The belief in magic was widespread during Greco-Roman times. The use of charms or spells used as an attempt to control the surrounding environment or one's self was commonplace during this era. Although looked down upon by various religions, the ancient practice of magic does reflect certain aspects of religious traditions. Charm beads, amulets and talismans were often used in a number of religious practices.
The use of amulets in ancient Roman society is linked to the use of magic in the Greco-Roman World. In fact, the influence of magic from this time has resulted in the use of such charms in countless cultures.
In Greco-Roman times, gemstones were worn by individuals interested in attaining powers associated with the gods of the time. For instance, amethyst was worn in order to imbue the wearer with the powers of the god Bacchus, milky chalcedony represented the god Jupiter, green jasper the god Ceres, and heliotrope the god Sol.
Other charm beads from this era bore inscriptions to ward off evil spirits or to bring good luck. For example, a common inscription from this time was VTEREFELIX or UTERE FELIX, which meant "good luck to the user."
Similar amulets were given to children in order to protect them from harm, whether earthly or supernatural. The symbols used for such protection included ravens, dogs, a hand with an open palm, an eye pierced with an arrow, and many other symbolic icons.
Many of the symbols from the Greco-Roman times or that were inspired from this era have survived to this day in one form or another. They hold a popular place in modern culture, from books to movies, most popularly in the tremendously popular Harry Potter series in which symbols from Greco-Roman and Egyptian times play a large part in the story.
Modern-day charm beads often make use of symbols from ancient cultures. Many of these amulets resonate with the collective unconscious as they give meaning and ideas to our contemporary lives. This is why wearers of jewelry embellished with such talismans or amulets have remained steadily popular throughout the ages.
The practice of wearing decorative pendants, bracelets or other jewelry for good luck or other such beliefs is likely to have begun well before Greco-Roman times, although that particular era widely demonstrates the phenomenon. Throughout most cultures and time, there are many examples of such jewelry.

What Greco-Roman culture is reflected in Western civilization today?
I have an essay question like this on tomorrow's history. it would be great if you could help!! Thanks!
Well the design of our capital building and white house have ancient origins. similar styles.
The Olympics were of Greek origin.
The Marathon originated in Greece as a result of a naval war victory.
The foundations of our art and sculpture had its beginnings in Rome and Athens .....
Latin was the predominant language among educated people until about 1900 or perhaps the end of WW1 in 1918.
Many of the myths and mythology they had have been retained and rewritten into modern versions.
Many of the military traditions have been retained and even some of the famous battles have been studied and restudied as lessons for generations. The organization of the military and the size of individual organizations is similar to what we have now. ...squads, platoons, companies, regiments...etc.. I used to be in the army and recognized this.
The Calendar is similar, we use the Julian calendar.........after Julius Caesar......
the Roman Colosseum is a model of excellence even today . We model our coliseums after it........they could put like 80,000 people in the thing and empty the whole place in 8 minutes.
Indoor plumbing, public baths for everyone
Early system of justice, they had lawyers ( Cicero) but the system was not very fair.
And many many more, but I have to go now....good luck
