Does size matter? Not when the little guy is this cute!

@lowrah @AimeeMaroux It's a protective charm! In many places, but especially ancient Greece and Rome, the erect phallus was considered apotropaic- a sign that wards off evil. They had boundary markers whose primary characteristic was a bright red erection! The Roman ones (Priapii) are the origin of lawn gnomes with red hats :)

@kevinkosullivan @histodons @academicchatter You could have them make a video essay instead of a written one. Encourage silliness! It helps.

@kevinkosullivan @histodons @academicchatter Here's one I did that might be about the right size and scope, though I admit my 40-minute one on Sparta is more popular :) https://youtu.be/T-wLFo8qGt8
