The study of amulets brings us into contact with the thoughts and desires of hundreds of
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.
