theancientwayoflife:~ Phallus with Greek Inscription to Hermes.Date: A.D. 2nd- 3rd century Period: Roman ImperialMedium: Mixed copper alloyFrom the source: This depiction of male pubis, penis and scrotum is hollow on the back and would have been attached to something via the iron rivets in the corner and the third attachment hole located in the bottom of the scrotum. The flaccid penis is bulbous closer to the body and tapers toward the circular tip; there is no indication of pubic hair. Located above the penis, the simple and slightly irregular incised lettering reads: “To Hermes the highest of the gods”. -- source link
