Gladiator fights roman oil lamp Thraex / Murmillo

The slow burning procedure of a wick drenched in oil is a very old method of generating light, which was practised in a lot of cultures. There is hardly an excavation site where findings of remains of old lamps are not made. Interestingly enough, not only simple forms of clay are recovered, but also pieces of stone and metal, which feature, similar to this model, elaborate embellishments and indicate some degree of wealth in regard to their owner.

In times long before the introduction of electric or gas light sources, oil lamps were understandably of immense importance and a great necessity. As a consequence, they had to be mass produced, especially in the great and always busy Roman Empire, and today, oil lamp artefacts are very often found in fairly good condition.

Oil lamp dimensions: approximately 11 x 8 cm
2 wicks included
