<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1825898, member: 26302"]I guess I would ask similar, why is the reverse symbol on this assumed to be a representation of Mercury specifically? I have seen pendants with that depiction, are those pendants also representations of Mercury? Maybe they are, I am just asking. I know phallus' were powerful and commonly used symbols in Rome. The walls of Pompeii were decorated with them, sometimes in unflattering ways also of course.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
