Comment on Venus Priapus
Cf. DNP, op. cit., Mutunus Tutunus or Mutinus Titinus.
Mutunus Tutunus had a temple on Rome’s Velian Hill (removed in 1932) where women came to offer sacrifices. It was claimed that newlywed brides would lie atop the divine phallus as a form of initiation ritual before lovemaking of their wedding night.
