Hee! Excellent. Alas, I'm not sure I've ever actually seen a cock carved into the pavement of Pompeii, but there are plenty of cocks to be seen - comically embiggened and everything in murals. (These books of inscriptions, which have all their notes written in Victorian Latin, have their own fun sometimes when there's been a carving - one of the 'Phoebus sucks cock' inscriptions (PHOIIBVS FIILAT) comes with a little note in tiny italics 'hominis facies cum phallo' - 'face of a man with penis' - on its left. You can only imagine what that was a picture of...)
I wonder if we've ever stopped scrawling on walls since the cave paintings?
