In ancient Rome, a tintinnabulum (less often tintinnum) [1] was a wind chime or assemblage of bells. A tintinnabulum often took the form of a bronze ithyphallic figure or of a fascinum, a magico-religious phallus thought to ward off the evil eye and bring good fortune and prosperity. A tintinnabulum acted as a door amulet.
The tintinnabulum is one of the three physical signs that indicate that a church is a lesser basilica. The other two signs are the umbraculum (conopaeum) and a display of the papal symbol. [2] In the Middle Ages it served the practical function of alerting the people of Rome to the approach of the Pope during papal processions. [citation needed]
