This phallic graffiti from A.D. 207 was discovered at a quarry near Hadrian’s Wall by archaeologists from the University of Newcastle. (University of Newcastle)
They appear in the sky when least expected, grandiose artistry undertaken by daring pilots willing to risk it all. They grace thousands of pages of green notepads, contemporary hieroglyphics detailing the zone-out timeline during an infantryman’s mandatory PowerPoint lecture. Decorations of them adorn Porta-John walls around the globe with more vigor than a Clark Griswold Christmastime display.
They are penis etchings, the longstanding pride of the United States military.
Militarized affinity for phallic scribbling, however, dates back long before the first illustrations were ever fashioned by uninterested American service members — so long, in fact, that European expansion to North America was not yet even an idea.
That was the revelation this week when archaeologists from Newcastle University and Historic England uncovered sections of graffiti, carved by Roman soldiers in the year 207, in a quarry near a section of Hadrian’s Wall in Cumbria, England. – Article
As you may know, when Roman soldiers were not engaged in killing off the Barbarian Hordes (the Picts, Gaels, Celts, etc.), in foreign countries, they were employed with other work, including constructing fortresses and two famous walls in northern Britain, the Antonine Wall and Hadrian’s Wall.
As the author of the article says, “Wait ’til Biggus Dickus hears about this!”

Did the young legionnaires face the same level of blowback the current generation of graffiti artists have? Inquiring minds want to know. And so far as Biggus Dickus goes, it’s his wife who you have to worry about – Incontinentia Buttocks. She goes by Hillary Clinton today.
Thanks for that, Senior. Classic scene.
And it’s maybe even more hilarious in German! (smile)
One of the first Monty Python movies I remember seeing… and loved it.
they were employed with other work
Including, one thinks, breeding the meanness out of the indigenous population.
Infantry gonna be Infantry. Anytime, anyplace.
Just for the record, I have never been to Cumbria, England.

Rock solid proof that there were no Jewish “Members” in the Roman legion?
Signature of Legionaire “Johnson?”
“Peter” the Great?
Hold my grog and watch this!
“Grog” made its start in Her Majesty’s Royal Navy, where Admiral Edward Vernon introduced the concoction of watered down rum to his squadron of ships in the East Indies, much to the displeasure of the Sailors. The drink and and the Admiral were referred to as “Grog” for the beverage and “Old Grog” for the Admiral.
Cheers!
AW1 sends and beat Army!
Watered down grog pissed off the British Navy.
Getting beat by US Army pisses off US Navy.
Two historical facts!
Wonder if the Roman ARMY Legions were beating up on the Roman Navy sailors on the trip across the Channel? Maybe the picture was a designation of the FIRST Roman Phalanx.

‘Old Grog’ due to his wearing a grogram coat in all weather. The booze was namedfor him, who was nicknamed for the material of his coat.
Was it signed by Legionary Phallus Longinus?

Thank You, Ed!
What about the Dude who snucker punched the MAGA Hat indivuial at UC-Berkely? I posted that story at WOT. Too late?
It posted just fine, around 1745 yesterday.
Unavailable for comment.
There have been drawings of Peter’s peter, as far back in time as there have been peters.
So when in Human History were Soldiers NOT drawing peckers on things?
Apparently never. As it should be.
IMHO there are THREE things that NO Military Unit has ever been short of in all of Human History – Rumors, Gripes and characters that want to draw a dick on whatever they can whenever they can.
Around 1992 my company was sent it an very old rock query near Fulda to clean up a mess left by U.S forced allegedly. We removed several winged and non winged wangers from the rock walls with jack hammers. After it was all cleaned up we were told that they were ancient also.
Idiots! We wanted you to clean off the worthless graffiti dicks and not the priceless dick drawings from antiquitiy!
If you ever visit Centralia, Pennsylvania you couldn’t miss the section of the old highway because it’s covered in spray painted dicks.
Cerne Abbas Giant or The Rude Man
The Cerne Abbas Giant is a hill figure near the village of Cerne Abbas in Dorset, England. high, it depicts a standing unclothed male figure with a prominent erection and wielding a large club in its right hand.
The Cerne Abbas Giant, an ancient and revered fertility symbol that one must sit on if one wishes to become pregnant. That, or it was meant to intimidate invading Roman battalions.

In Pompeii the phallus was carved in to the cobblestone streets to indicate where the local houses of ill repute were located. Useful for out of towners come to the big city to sell a few goats.
