Lupanar (Brothel) Sign, Pompeii :
In Pompeii; Penises can be found not only as graffiti roughly drawn and carved onto public walls, but built into the roads as well.
It is guessed that phallic symbols on the streets point towards nearest brothel, to direct foreign sailors who may be heavily intoxicated and/or unable to speak the local language.
