Italy: Fresco of Priapus depicted weighing his enormous erect penis against a bag of gold. Casa de Vettii, Pompeii, c. 62 CE-79 CE

In Greek mythology, Priapus was a minor rustic fertility god, protector of livestock, fruit plants, gardens and male genitalia. Priapus is marked by his oversized, permanent erection, which gave rise to the medical term priapism. He became a popular figure in Roman erotic art and Latin literature, and is the subject of the often humorously obscene collection of verse called the Priapeia.
