Roman Legionary Medallion with Satyr and Phalluses Ca. 100-300 AD

A bronze circular plaque with a stud to the reverse and an obverse decorated with a depiction of an upper body of Satyr, with his bearded face, pair of horns, muscular torso, and an erect penis. In the place where the arms should be, there are rings to which the phallic pendants are attached. From the lower edge of the plaque, a further suspension loop protrudes and is hung with a bronze amulet of fist and phallus, featuring a hand in manus fica gesture to the left and phallus to the right, and in the center a realistic depiction of phallus and testicles. Satyrs were companions of the ancient Greek god Dionysus (the Romans ‘Bacchus’), the god of wine, fertility, ritual madness, theater, and religious ecstasy. The upper half of their body was human, the lower half animal.
