also for the same purpose on the wall at Fiesoli, on the walls of Grotta Torre, of Todi, on the doors of tombs at Palazzuolo, at Castel di Asro in Etruria. For a similar reason the phallus was placed over the doors of Greek and Roman houses, and in the inside of the houses, to divert the thoughts of passers-by, so that they might not look with an eye of envy on the house. In the principle street of Pompeii it occurs over the door of a house, and also in a baker's shop. Bronze representations, of the phallus, either erect or quiescent, are frequently found in the South of Italy. They are also often found, among other objects, in the necklaces of ladies.
