The Secret Cabinet (Gabbinete) or Secret Room is the name of the Bourbon Monarchy gave the private rooms in which they held their fairly extensive collection of erotic or sexual items, mostly deriving from excavations of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Limiting viewership and censorship have always been part of the history of the collection. In this fresco, Hermaphroditus sits on a bench with an exposed erect penis. The satyr, standing behind him, grasps his right arm. To the right stands a maenad, wearing a wreath and a doeskin, and holding a thyrsos and kantharos (drinking cup), attributes of Dionysus, and a tamborine. From Casa di Epidio Sabino, Pompeii (IX, 1, 22). 50-79 CE. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
