Experts believe it could have also been used as a good luck token or to prepare ingredients.
A wooden object found at a Roman fort on Hadrian's Wall initially thought to be a sewing tool may have been a 2nd Century sex toy.
However, they said they had not ruled out it could have been a good luck symbol or a tool to grind ingredients.Accessories and other small tools - along with leather off-cuts - were also found with it at the site, near Hexham in Northumberland.However, experts from Newcastle University and University College Dublin say they now believe the object, which measures about 6.2in , might have had a more intimate use.
Dr Rob Collins, a senior lecturer in archaeology at Newcastle University, said: "We know that the ancient Romans and Greeks used sexual implements - this object from Vindolanda could be an example of one." Many are depicted in art, carved into pottery or small versions - made of bone or metal - were often worn as jewellery pendants.The object has now been put on display at the site, near Hexham in Northumberland
