This paper studies these gems in light of stories related to swampy areas, in order to investigate the meaning of the metaphorical connections that exist between the serpent deities and to examine the conditions that may have influenced the use of therapeutic amulets during the Graeco-Roman period.

anonymous, inconsequential people at the most strained emotional moments of their lives,
revealing their innermost thoughts, and helping us understand the religious atmosphere of
that epoch. Although the majority of Greco-Roman and Late Antique amulets lack a secure
archaeological context, there are a few among them that have been recovered in situ, in
ancient Macedonia. This paper draws attention to these particular amulets, allowing a better
understanding of the people that wore them, their problems, their motivations, their deepest
needs, in order to shed some new light on the everyday religious life of the ancient Macedonians.
