Archaeologists believe they have found the only known Roman dildo to have belonged to a former Italian prime minister. The 2000-year-old wooden phallus was discovered during the excavation of a Roman villa and may have been dropped in panic when Silvio Berlusconi’s wife returned home early from the shops.
Archaeologists have found traces of hair dye and dirty money on the artefact and are confident it was dropped by a former prime minister sometime in the 2nd century AD.
