The finding of phallus symbols is not uncommon in the Roman Empire. This could potentially be an example recently discovered at Vindolanda.

This could represent a fascinus, which is a phallic amulet or depiction used to invoke divine protection (see Wikipedia link below).

Below are two examples of the many posts about the phallic symbolism throughout the Empire.
