Roman Judaea, Herodian Oil Lamp, c. 25 B.C. - 100 A.D.
|Oil| |Lamps|, |Roman| |Judaea,| |Herodian| |Oil| |Lamp,| |c.| |25| |B.C.| |-| |100| |A.D.|, This simple but elegant lamp design was developed during the reign of Herod, and thus they are called Herodian Lamps today. The type is found throughout all of Israel, especially in Jewish towns and areas, such as Jerusalem and Judea. Some have been found in Jordan. It is believed to be a type used mainly by Jews. They remained in common use until the end of the first century. The latest examples, from the middle of the second century, have been found in Judean Desert caves. Attempts have been made to more precisely date some of these lamps based on variations, however, excavations indicate the variations are simultaneous.
