Secundinus phallus-and-inscription stone
About the work
Imported from the workbook's Full reassessment sheet, revised 7 October 2026 (record ID 30). The assessment below is the workbook's comparative judgment under its stated criteria; source links and limits are retained.
Workbook assessment: Insufficient evidence
Date or witness: Probably 3rd century CE
Region: Vindolanda, Roman Britain
Workbook date-sort bounds: 200 CE to 300 CE; these bounds are not automatically invention or disappearance dates.
Description
A large phallus accompanies the words SECVNDINVS CACOR. The combination delivers an obscene boast or insult associated with Secundinus.
Evidence of adoption or transmission
An informal phallic image and inscription survive in a Roman military setting.
What remains uncertain
The exact named inscription has no demonstrated independent replication; the broader protective phallus repertoire belongs under 95.
