<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 7859779, member: 97383"]Curtis, You raise an interesting question <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I've had a few denarii of Elagabalus that depict this strange object on his head, & must admit it never appeared to me to be a horn of an animal <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I've never seen a bull's penis in action or dried, but would think it to be larger than what appears on these coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Knowing that the young prince was a homosexual, could this object be a male penis <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />? To add weight to this theory, ancient writers reported that Elagabalus wanted to be castrated to enhance his evening cross-dressing <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie80" alt=":shame:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. His very early coinage doesn't depict this strange object on his head.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1354634[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1354635[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 7859779, member: 97383"]Curtis, You raise an interesting question o_O. I've had a few denarii of Elagabalus that depict this strange object on his head, & must admit it never appeared to me to be a horn of an animal ;). I've never seen a bull's penis in action or dried, but would think it to be larger than what appears on these coins :D. Knowing that the young prince was a homosexual, could this object be a male penis :rolleyes:? To add weight to this theory, ancient writers reported that Elagabalus wanted to be castrated to enhance his evening cross-dressing :shame:. His very early coinage doesn't depict this strange object on his head. [ATTACH=full]1354634[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1354635[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
