Summary

[edit]
A scene depicting two young boys. Photomechanical process.
Title
A scene depicting two young boys. Photomechanical process.
Description

A scene depicting two young boys a sexual intercourse between a man and a woman. Photomechanical process.
The interpretation of this scene is totally wrong! The relief of this ancient Roman oil lamp is well known and shows a scene of sexual intercourse between a man and a woman in a brothel. The small size of the two people are due to the limitations of space on the disc of the lamp, not that they are children or dwarfs. (see HERE).--DenghiùComm (talk) 11:21, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
