The obscure word sōpiō (gen. sōpiōnis) seemed to mean a sexualized caricature with an abnormally large penis, such as the Romans were known to draw. It appears in Catullus 37: frontem tabernae sopionibus scribam (“I will draw sopios on the front of the tavern”) and in graffiti from Pompeii: ut merdas edatis, qui scripseras sopionis (“whoever drew sopios, let him eat shit!’”) The grammarian Sacerdos preserves a quotation about Pompey, that says quem non pudet et rubet, non est homo, sed sopio (“whoever is not ashamed and blushes is not a man, but a sopio.”)
