Heavy rains expose ancient phallus and 'imposing' face carvings at Roman fort in Spain

The carvings of the Roman-era phallus, face and cornucopia were found at a first century B.C. fort in Spain.

Heavy rains in Spain have revealed the stone carvings of a phallus, human face and cornucopia at an ancient Roman fort.

The carvings were crafted at Tossal de La Cala, a fort dating to the first century B.C. in modern-day Benidorm, on the Mediterranean coast. Although the ancient art was first spotted in January 2020, city officials and archaeologists made the announcement on May 19, 2023 to "ensure the protection of the relief," according to a translated statement from the city of Benidorm.
