"Ancient Rome was covered in penises. All around Pompeii excavators discovered phallic symbols from intricately carved 3D cock & balls to scribbled graffiti on street corners, above bread ovens, outside houses, in bathhouses, literally dicks everywhere. When Pompeii was discovered in the 1700’s this fact was suppressed by puritanical types and the church.

Italians of the area now use chili peppers as a replacement symbol, including as a necklace pendant you will see everywhere. Of course, peppers didn’t exist in Europe until Columbus returned from the new world. So chili pepper now equates to cock in southern Italy and if you walk around Pompeii lookout for all the dicks."
