The old Romans were a very open-minded people. Especially when it came to erotic matters. Most of them did not mind being exposed to nudity or explicit drawings and pictures. Thus, you can find a lot of erotic decorations and patterns on many objects of daily Roman life. You would most certainly not find the same decoration on today's daily objects...the paintings could sometimes be extremely graphic and only left small room for imagination. Although the object at hand is all in all rather tame in this regard.
Should you want to experience something that was completely normal for nearly every ancient Roman citizen but is not normal today, then this oil lamp is just the right object for you to have! Owning of those oil lamps will greatly add to your collection and make it all in all more versatile.

Kundemeinung von: . I just bought this product and I must say how very impressed I am with the historical accuracy of this beautifully decorated and handcrafted roman oil lamp. Needless to say I've had my fair share of purchases from other online shops and market places like eBay, and the items that I bought there don't even come close to the quality you get here. It is with great confidence I recommend Forum Traiani, not only for their expertise, but for their high quality products and affordable prices. Please note: This is a small oil lamp, perfect for your decorative needs. You could also use it for your Lararium, but I wouldn't recommend it as the gods only appreciated candles! Bigger oil lamps can also be purchased here, if you are not sure which one it is, just go to the Terra sigillata & pottery section and click on the interactive link in the Roman Tableware picture.
