Some historical regarding this oil lamp ( this is = - + age og this oil lamp )

Numidia Cirtéenne (Numidia Cirtensis) was a Roman province originally built in the province of Numidia and whose capital was Cirta, today Constantine (Algeria). The existence of Numidia cirtéenne was brief since appeared with the new provincial division of Diocletian in 303 and died in 313 when it was united with the province of Numidia military. As its name suggests, Numidia cirtéenne corresponded to the northern part of the former province of Numidia, that is to say essentially the territory of the former Confederacy cirtéenne. Cirta remained provincial capital after the merger of the provinces of Numidia cirtéenne and military.

The form of this lamp (wheelmade, short nozzle, evidence of attached handle, traces of black slip?) suggests it is a great deal earlier than Roman Cirta and is more likely to be an import from Greek colonies (or a local copy of them) in the area during the 4th - 3rd Centuries BC.

Other details of the tomb (site construction, associated objects, etc.) would doubtless have revealed far more information but I suspect this was an unofficial "excavation" and anything not of monetary value was destroyed?
