Isn’t long distance “pilgrimage” more of a Christian thing and it didn’t really become that widespread until the 300s or 400s?

- INTPenis 3y agoThey sure are. During roman period most likely people traveled for festivals. Archaeologists have found what could be temporarily built up areas for festivals. And it is known that festivals were a big thing that gave the population a break from work. Which is what I personally would like to connect with the famous penis pendants, but nobody knows for sure. They could just be fertility symbols related to courtship and marriage. FYI I'm doing a lot of guessing here, which is apt when it comes to discussing dodecahedrons. In my opinion you can look at contemporary, or near contemporary, rural communities and see a lot of similarities with ancient society.
