The link to Mani appears to have nothing to do with Romans. --rmhermen

penates
best i can tell penates were so named because of their role in protecting the storeroom (_penus_) rather than for any particular phallic association. you can't sell everything with sex.
I edited the link so it pointed to the actual wikipedia entry on the Penates. The stuff about a penis seems suspect to me, too. Would rather discuss than just delete, though - anyone got a good reference?
