Huge Ancient Roman Penis Unearthed In England And This Chick Is PSYCHED

BBC: A “highly significant” and rare carved Roman phallus has been discovered by archaeologists working on finds unearthed during a major road upgrade.

It was found on a broken millstone by experts along the route of the A14 in Cambridgeshire between 2017 and 2018.

However, it has only just been put back together, revealing the penis.

Archaeologists said it was one of only four known examples of Romano-British millstones decorated this way.

During work on Highways England’s £1.5bn upgrade of the A14 between Cambridge and Huntingdon, more than 300 querns (hand mills) and millstones were recovered by archaeologists MOLA Headland Infrastructure, working with partners Oxford Archaeology.

The stone which recently revealed its genital markings had been preserved by being reversed and adapted for use as a bedstone, after being initially broken.

Decorated querns and millstones of any date are extremely rare, with only four such Roman millstones discovered from around a total of 20,000 nationwide, said Steve Sherlock, Highways England’s archaeology lead for the A14. He said phallic images were “seen as an important image of strength and virility in the Roman world, with it being common practice for legionaries to wear a phallus amulet, which would give them good luck before battle”.

Those crazy Roman bastards have been drawing dicks all over the world for over 2000 years and we are just finding them now?

55 years before the birth of Christ, Julius Cesar and a couple of legions of Roman legions beat the shit out of poorly armed Celtic tribes before coming home via France carving dicks from Rome to England to France, and back again over 100 year period ending in 70 AD.  Do you have any idea how many ancient dicks carved by hundreds of thousands of men are just laying around the corridor from Italy to England?

Roman’s love of the wiener dates back 1000’s of years to the God of dick, Fascinus.  It was believed the penis was a good luck charm that brought virility and ultimate strength to those who carved or wore dicks on their person (Trinkets and ‘dick amulets) were all the rage during the time of Christ but we’ve been creating dick-art forever.

In fact, the earliest known dick is a 28,000-year-old cave dick in Cumbria that’s thought to be the first known homage to the male genitals in human history.

This is either a dick cup or a teapot from 4000 years ago
This Dick was uncovered in the ashes of Pompeii.  It was hung on the outside of a structure that was thought to have been a whorehouse.
This is a flying dick with a dick tail and wings.  Like a St Christopher medallion, it’s only a bunch of dicks meant to bring the wearer strength.

Decent depictions of dicks though.  They’re all the same.  They are unsightly ‘things’ and, depending on temperature/anxiety level, come in many shapes and sizes.  Some are toques and some are helmets but for thousands of years, men have LOVED doodling dicks, which is as scary as it is comforting.  Sure, we mix in the Mona Lisa and the odd Sistine Chapel, but the one artistic thread that runs throughout recorded history is penis drawings left by men over and over again for the past 28,000 years.
Dicks and 3D boxes are my go-to doodles when I’m on the phone or bored in a podcast or live stream.  I have a ton of prep too, but between my prep notes, you’ll often find a dick or a 3-d rectangular box doodle between barely legible sentences in point form.
It’s in our DNA to draw weiners on note pads, dumpsters, or the sides of derelict buildings.  When you want to deface something, what do you deface it with?  Usually a dick. It’s universal, easy to reproduce and you can give it a cute wig to make it less offensive.
We’ve been rendering dicks for almost 30,000 years and one day when no one has dicks, we’ll look back on a simpler time when we used to worship them and be thankful for all that art so keep on dick-doodling.  You never know what it might mean to civilization in a few thousand years.
