Roman lamps discovered at Histria, in the Acropolis Centre‐South Sector (2013 and 2015)

Journal Title: MATERIALE SI CERCETARI ARHEOLOGICE - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 0

Abstract

Even if it represents an important ceramic category, given the quantity of material discovered during archaeological excavations, as well as the chronological information they offer, lamps have not drawn enough the attention of the specialists. The fragments presented in this paper pertain to seven types, six of which were produced in the eastern part of the Empire or were imitated in the provinces on the western Black Sea shore, while the last type is a North African production. Chiar dacă reprezintă o categorie ceramică importantă, atât din punct de vedere al cantităţii materialului descoperit în timpul cercetărilor arheologice, cât şi al aceluia al informaţiilor cronologice oferite, opaiţele nu atrag încă suficient interesul specialiştilor. Fragmentele prezentate în acest articol se încadrează în șapte tipuri, șase fiind fabricate în zona orientală a Imperiului Roman sau imitate în provinciile vest‐pontice, ultimul reprezentând un tip de opaiț nord‐african.
