d.i.c.k.s
A phallus is an erect penis or the mimetic image of an erect penis. Any object that visually resembles a penis or acts as a symbol for it may also be referred to as a phallus; however, such objects are more correctly referred to as being phallic. Such symbols often represent the fertility and cultural implications that are associated with the male sexual organ.

Ancient sculptures of phalloi have been found in many parts of the world, notably among the vestiges of ancient Greece and Rome.
