A golden pestle used for Roman Viagra has been found in a Cornish field
5th August 2010
A golden pestle which could have been used to mix 'Roman Viagra' has been found in Cornwall. The rare item could have been used as a portable pestle for crushing love potions, and also serve as a fertility and status symbol, hung around the neck of its owner. The pendant,  which is less than an inch-and-a-half long and weighs just a fifth of an ounce, is shaped provocatively like a bull's horns. The gold pendant  was most likely part of the vanity set of a Romano-British noble, some time between the first and fourth century, say experts.
