The Priapeia is a collection of ninety-five poems in various meters on subjects pertaining to the phallic god Priapus. It was compiled from literary works and inscriptions on images of the god by an unknown editor, who composed the introductory epigram. From their style and versification it is evident that the poems belong to the classical period of Latin literature. Some, however, may be interpolations of a later period. They can be found in Franz Bücheler's Petronii Arbitri Satirarum reliquiae (1862), Lucian Müller's Q. Valerii Catulli Carmina (1870), and Emil Baehrens's, Poetae latini minores, I. (1879).

The Priapeia, now for the first time literally and completely translated into English verse and prose, is a collection of short Latin poems in the shape of jocose epigrams affixed to the statues of the god Priapus. These were often rude carvings from a tree-trunk, human-shaped, with a huge phallus which could at need be used as a cudgel against robbers, and they were placed in the gardens of wealthy Romans, for the twofold purpose of promoting fertility and of preventing depredations on the produce. Illustrated with period pictures, Pompeii, bowls, goblets, votives, and more
