Crepundia

(τὰ σπάργανα). A generic term for children's playthings, such as rattles, dolls, toy hatchets, swords, etc. The name is also given to objects of a similar description tied about the necks of children, either as amulets or for purposes of identification (Plaut. Mil. Glor. v. 6; Cist. iv. 1, 13; Rud. iv. 4; Soph. Oed. Tyr. 1035). Specimens of these are represented as worn on the neck of a child in a statue of the Museo Pio-Clementino, copied in the accompanying engraving —viz., a half-moon (lunula) on the top of the right shoulder; then a double axe (securicula ancipes); next a bucket (situla argenteola); a sort of flower, not mentioned; a little sword (ensiculus aureolus); a little hand (manicula); then another half-moon; a dolphin (delphin), etc. See amuletum.
