Archaeologists believe they have found a sex toy from the time of the Roman empire.
The 2000-year-old object discovered in a Northumberland ditch in the Roman fort of Vindolanda back in 1992 was originally catalogued as a darning tool.
However, the item has been reassessed by archaeologists who said it was either a sexual implement, a penis-shaped pestle or even an object from a statue which the Romans would have touched for good luck.
