guy Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) First discovered in 1992 at Vindolanda near Hadrian’s Wall, this item was thought to be either a tool to help with sewing or a wooden kitchen pestle. Close examination, however, suggests that this was intentionally shaped as a phallus. It measures 6.2 inches (15.7 cm). The item shows extensive wear from use. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/feb/20/its-not-a-darning-tool-its-a-very-naughty-toy-roman-dildo-found Edited February 21, 2023 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
