Historical Curiosities

In the ancient and classical world and then in Greco-Roman culture, the phallus was considered the origin of life, as it generated seed: this is why ancient civilizations transformed it into divinity.
In Roman art the phallus was often depicted in frescoes and mosaics, generally also placed at the entrance to villas and patrician residences. It was considered an amulet against envy and the evil eye.

Furthermore, the cult of the virile member erected in ancient Rome was very widespread among the matrons of patrician extraction to propitiate their fertility and ability to generate the continuity of the gens. For this reason the phallus was also used as a jewel to be worn around the neck or arm. Also in Rome, the patrician virgins, before getting married, addressed a particular prayer to Priapus, so that he would make their wedding night pleasant.
