Nice to know the Romans were capable of childish, smutty graffiti as well as us!
I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

 Too D**n modern for me :D
Them Egyptians was carving willies on rocks from 36oo BC....Oh, and they had condoms by 1000 BC.
I think I'm too young to know why some of them had weeny little shells and bits of rough stone stuck on them, right?
As an addendum:
1. Sometimes, embalming went wrong, and the penis was replaced by a gherkin inside a sewn up piece of sheep gut, so that the deceased could perform in the afterlife;
and
2) When Tutankhamun's mummy was found, Tut, liked many others was mummified with his penis erect....Someone's going to ask why - I just know it.
Anyway, on re-examination un 1972, the organ was missing, leading to Scotland's Daily Record having the following headline.....
"Who's been silly
with King Tut's willy".
"for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."
