555_Pompeii_Priapus

Pompeii_Priapus. Courtesy of the Catholic church and the Victorians, we would (mostly) consider this sexually explicit
and essentially pornography. However, in Pompeii, it was considered both a sign of fertility and of good fortune,
which is why it, or something like it, was found in many entry halls.
