| NOTES | Although it is unquestionably erotic, this heavy bronze phallus probably served a ritual function. In the classical world, cults of male fertility gods like the Syrian Elagabulus were an accepted part of daily life. The phallus was also seen as a good luck charm, thought to avert the evil eye. |
