Abstract
Five Roman oil-lamps discovered in Salona and held in the Roman Provincial Collection of the Archaeological Museum in Split are analysed in this paper. Besides a typological determination of the oil-lamps, emphasis has been accorded to an analysis of the scenes and motifs on them. This provides some insight into lunar cults and the scenes depicted on the oil-lamps are discussed as a potential form of their manifestation. The goddesses Luna, Diana, Isis and Minerva are shown on the discuses of the oil-lamps, and the key to the interpretive section rests in their lunar character, as structured in their mythology and iconography.
