Recently, archaeologists at Vindolanda, near Hadrian's Wall, discovered a unique penis-shaped pendant made from Jet gemstone, believed to be a good luck charm dating back to the 4th century. This discovery sheds light on the daily lives of Romans in the area and demonstrates the importance of ongoing archaeological research for understanding history.
"At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"This little jet pendant was lost at sometime in the early 4th century when the barrack wall in which it was found was constructed, Dr. Andrew Birley explained."
