UK archaeologists have postulated that a 2,000-year-old “sewing tool” could potentially be the only known Roman dildo.
UK archaeologists were flabbergasted after discovering that a 2,000-year-old “sewing tool” could potentially be the only known life-size Roman dildo. They detailed the alleged phallic first in the journal“I have to confess, part of me thinks it’s kind of self-evident that it is a penis,” said Dr. Rob Collins, an archaeologist at Newcastle University who co-authored the paper,. “We know ancient Romans and Greeks used sexual implements. This object from Vindolanda could be an example of one.
UK archaeologists have postulated that a 2,000-year-old “sewing tool” could potentially be the only known life-size Roman dildo.However, upon further examination 30 years on, researchers believed they might’ve been wide of the mark. “The size of the phallus and the fact it was carved from wood raises a number of questions,” Collins declared. “The case for its sexual use is clear to most observers at first sight.”
Of course, the phallic facsimile might not have been for literal masturbation. Collins wrote that Romans may have employed it as a suggestive pestle to grind ingredients for “culinary or medicinal use” and that the “phallic shape may have been chosen to imbue these with good luck.”
