Late Antique oil-lamps with Early Christian images from the Archaeological Museum in Split

Vinka Bubić

Sažetak

This work contains catalogue treatment of 114 oil-lamps from the storage
depot of the Roman Provincial Collection and 20 additional pieces from
the permanent exhibition of the Archaeological Museum in Split.1 These
are oil-lamps from Late Antiquity, preserved in whole or in fragments,
which have Early Christian symbolic motifs rendered in relief on the
discus. Most often these are monograms, crosses, lions, hounds, hares,
cockerels, palm fronds and biblical scenes. The typological classification
established in this paper adheres to the division done by John W. Hayes,
so in this regard the oil-lamps have been dated to a period ranging from
the beginning of the fourth century to the roughly the year 550.
