Roman Oil Lamps
These Roman lamps were basically simple objects that burned olive oil with a fibre wick. They were made using two separate molds that were then joined together. About the middle of the 1st century AD, a shape for lamps was invented in Italy that had a long life span in various parts of the Roman Empire. Like these pictured below, Roman oil lamps had a wide circular body, a short rounded nozzle and a dished top or 'discus'. They were often decorated with a geometric design or a scene in relief. These lamps are made in Italy.
