Fascinum, Valeria Roman site, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain
Fascinum, cult of the divine phallus, in the Roman settlement of Valeria, founded 93-82 BC, near the village of Valeria, in Cuenca, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. The phallus represents the creativity of fertility but also wards off evil, especially from children. Excavations at the site have also revealed a nymphaeum, exedra, forum, aqueducts and private houses. Picture by Manuel Cohen
