Erotic Pompeii goat statue arrives in the British Museum


The sculpture is of the mythical half-goat, half-man Pan having sex with a nanny goat.The erotic statue has caused the British Museum to install a "parental guidance" warning in their new exhibition, Life and Death in Pompeii and Herculaneum.

Paul Roberts, senior curator, said the statue may be unconventional today, but would not have raised eyebrows in Roman Pompeii: "The Romans would see the God Goat having Sex with a Goat , so it wouldn't have troubled them at all
