First discovered in 1992 at Vindolanda near Hadrian’s Wall, this item was thought to be either a tool to help with sewing or a wooden kitchen pestle. Close examination, however, suggests that this was intentionally shaped as a phallus. It measures 6.2 inches (15.7 cm). The item shows extensive wear from use.

Now we have input from an expert in ancient prosthetics who suggests that this ph*llus-shaped object was created by a shoemaker. Mamma mia:
