👀 A wooden object found at a Roman fort on Hadrian's Wall in the UK may have been a 2nd Century sex toy.

Experts first thought the 6.2in (16cm) object may have been a sewing tool, but now think it may be the earliest example of a wooden phallus found anywhere in the ex-Roman empire.

When they analysed it they found both ends were noticeably smoother, indicating repeated use over time – suggesting it might have had a more intimate use.

However, they said they had not ruled out it could have been a good luck symbol or a tool to grind ingredients.
