A very interesting discovery was made near Hadrian’s Wall, which divides England in half and is among the most popular artifacts from the Roman Empire era. Dylan Herbert, who voluntarily participated in the excavations in the area, found a piece of rock 40 cm wide and 15 cm high during the work. While one side of this rock looked quite ordinary, there was an important detail on the back.
Researchers determined that the rock found was 1700 years old. There was a penis figure and some writings on the rock. Scientists who examined these articles encountered an unexpected result. So much so that a person living at that time spoke very harshly against another Roman named “Secundinus”. Inscriptions on the rock included a phrase (CACOR) that corresponds to the words “scum” and “g*t”. In other words, the person who wrote on the rock openly insulted Secundinus.
Here is the boulder inscribed on it:
As a matter of fact, it is not surprising to find carved rocks on Hadrian’s Wall and its surroundings. For example, on another tablet found in the same region, there was an inscription written by a person for his sister’s birthday. The main thing that baffled the experts was the hatred on the boulder.
There is something else important in the piece of rock found. As you can imagine, penis drawing. In fact, this drawing appears in every period of history. Penis symbols in Roman times were often used in connection with good luck and fertility. However, historians think that the drawing was not used in that sense on this piece of rock. The person who carved the rock used the penis symbol not for good luck or fertility, but for his own purposes, namely to spew his hatred.
