Hardcover. The fascinus, or phallus, was at the heart of classical Roman art and life. No god was more represented in ancient Rome than the phallic deity Priapus, and the fescennine verses, one of the earliest forms of Roman poetry, accompanied the celebrations of Priapus, the harvest, and fertility. This title looks closely at this delicate interplay. Translator(s): Turner, Chris. Series: The French List. Num Pages: 320 pages, 30 colour plates. BIC Classification: 1QDAR; 2ADL; ACG; DSBB.
