English: Untitled, nicknamed "Priapus with Caduceus", "Priapus-Mercury", or erroneously "Well-endowed Mercury": a character with the beard and giant erect phallus of Priapus is walking away with the caduceus and winged sandals of Mercury (supposedly, the humour was to see Priapus thieving the god of thieves, but both are gods of fertility and abundance). Anonymous fresco in Pompeii, between 89 BC and 79 AD. Museo Archeologico Nazionale (Naples), Italy.

Français: Sans titre, surnommé "Priape au caducée", "Priape-Mercure", ou à tort "Mercure bien pourvu" : un personnage ayant la barbe et le phallus géant en érection de Priape emporte le caducée et les sandales ailées de Mercure (on a avancé que l'humour était de voir Priape voler le dieu des voleurs, mais les deux sont des dieux de la fertilité et de l'abondance). Fresque anonyme à Pompeii, entre 89 avant notre ère et 79 de notre ère. Musée Archéologique National de Naples, Italie.

Italiano: Figura portafortuna che fonde gli attribuiti di due divinità dell'abbondanza: Priapo (riconoscibile dall'enorme fallo in erezione), dio della fecondità, e Mercurio, dio del commercio, riconoscibile dal caduceo. Affresco da Pompei.
