Along the corridor of Hadrian’s Wall, there are 59 known phalli which consist of incised, relief, or sculpture phalli. Each architectural type of phalli have been grouped into one of nine morphological traits: the rocket, the hammer, the kinky-winky, the splitcock, the pointer, the double-dong, running hard, the beast, and the lucky dip.

Romans really loved drawing dicks everywhere

Graffiti in general, really.

Humans don't really change, I guess.

Bigger news would be 'roman carving revealed to not be penis'

What have the Romans ever done for us? Introduced the dick pic, apparently.

I think all us chaps would like to think ours fall into the categories of the hammer or the beast, but we're more likely to be a pointer or kinky-winky.
