	Mutinus
		Mutunus and Tutunus in Tertullian were double and obscene.
		In regard to cult, Mutinus' known phallic cult was private and could hardly be public matter, while matronly wreaths on Liber's phallus to elicit growth from seeds can be adduced to illustrate character of Roman public cult of Mutinus Titinus.
		Whereas Mutinus Titinus was venerated by chief pontiff and Vestals on 15 March, ides sacred to Jupiter, Vesta was worshiped in 9 June by Vestals, who also honored phallus on this same day.

	The Priapeia
		According to Festus, Mutinus or Mutenus is a god differing wholly from Priapus, having a public sanctuary at Rome, where the statue was placed sitting with penis erect.
		Newly-mated girls were placed in his lap, before being led away to their husbands so that the deity might appear to have foretasted their virginity, this being supposed to render the bride fruitful.
		It gained its topical meaning from a custom practised by the ancients of hanging a Phallus round the neck of children as a charm or preventive against witchcraft, and hence the word became synonymous with penis.
