This maenad is certainly living up to her reputation! As a devotee of Dionysus she appears nude holding a thyrsos staff and touching a disembodied phallus! This C2nd BCE amethyst simply shines!

We’re celebrating the Roman fondness for the phallus with this bronze phallic ornament c. C1st CE. With a phallic head, tail, and it’s own phallus, this piece is truly offering options in terms of apotropaic power!

WHY IN THE WORLD IS THIS EVEN A THING?!?!?!?!?
For real now people, we need to touch some grass.
I was expecting to see some quality content when scrolling through #AncientGreece I thought I'd see some quality content, instead I saw this.
(P.S: They used to curve them quite small, since a big penis was considered a sign of low intelligence in the Anciebt Greek world.)

It’s #PhallusThursday and we’re celebrating with this pile of terracotta votive offerings that was on display at MAN Napoli.

#PhallusThursday in Pompeii edition
The best part was pointing out this excellent phallic display to passing English tourists, who were shocked in that awkward English way, and took a picture to end our interaction. I was like, you’re about to miss the best part of Pompeii!

This red-figure amphora offers an ancient spin on the old adage ‘eat a bag of d***s’. Seems like you could also ‘hop in a basket of phalloi’!

Go bold or go home! This herm is thought to date to c. 520 BCE and the smooth surface of the herm body is perfect for showcasing their particular attribute!

We are travelling to Indonesia for this week's #PhallusThursday to meet this fella who can't let go of his cock, even though the years or decapitation by invading Muslims have left him headless.

The perfect #PhallusThursday picture for #PrideMonth: Two kissing phalloi 🥺
They hail from Delos, birthplace of Apollon, who had many male lovers. 🌈

For #PhallusThursday on the first day of #PrideMonth I want to share my favourite erotic same sex scene on an ancient Greek vase painting. I have no idea what is going on but they seem to be having a lot of fun!
