Lucerna ME5033 Roman Lamp, Evora

Roman clay lamp (lucerna) dated in the 1st century BC, of unknown origin. Lamps fueled with olive oil and other vegetable oils were very common in the Roman world to provide artificial light. This lucerna would belong to the typology of "Riotinto-Aljustrel" (Nolen, 1994), which seems to be a relatively cheap product used by the less wealthy part of the population. The specimen presents 5 cm in height and 10,8 cm in long. It is currently preserved in the Frei Manuel do Cenáculo National Museum (Évora, Portugal). Catalog No. ME5033.
