Description: | A complete copper-alloy Roman phallic pendant.A single phallus with an oval cross section which curves upwards from base to tip. There is a small groove towards the end of the phallus which represents the foreskin. There are two circular projections at the base of the phallus which represent the testicles and there is an integrally cast suspension loop which is on the same place as the phallus. Phallic pendants are more common Roman military sites in the North or urban sites elsewhere. This has led Plouviez (2005) to suggest that these pendants may be linked to the Roman military especially due to their potentially aggressive aspect.
