200 - 300 AD FINEST ROMAN BRONZE PHALLIC FERTILITY PHALLUS PRIAPUS AMULET

In Greek mythology, Priapus was a minor rustic fertility god, protector of livestock, fruit plants, gardens, and male genitalia. He was most famous for this later attribute, which was clearly the focal point of his depictions, as well as the subsequent myths and literature that centered around his largely phallic character. His mother was Aphrodite and Father Hermes (or Dionysus depending on the different classical sources).
