The two-year-old 2,000-year-old carved figure found on a Roman wall revealed the birth of an ancient northern Italian city.

Archaeologists believe that the two symbols of the penis can show a link between the Roman Emperor Augustus and the old city of Aosta, an ancient city in northern Italy.

Scientists also claim that the stone carving grooves next to the plow-and-spade image symbolize the perimeter of a new city because it often appears during ceremonies established in Roman times. Not only that, the Capricorn-shaped penis-shaped inscription on the stone corresponds to the winter solstice in Rome and also the symbol of Emperor Augustus.

Archaeologists said the emperor could choose such signs to express the idea of ​​innovation like the appearance of mid-winter sunshine. This represents a new heyday with prosperity under the emperor's rule.

According to archaeologist Professor Giulio Magli, at Milan Polytechnic University, the penile carvings show the ancient city of Aosta built during the reign of Roman Emperor Augustus at the time of the winter solstice. Meanwhile, Dr. Bertarione also surmised, the city of Aosta was founded on the winter solstice when the sun shone on this valley of the valley city.

In addition, two penis inscriptions on a Roman wall can also be a symbol created by people to stay away from ghost spirits.
