BCC CG17 Early Roman Oil LampEarly Roman Oil Lamp
Caesarea Maritima
Late 1st-mid 2nd Century CE
Early Roman terracotta oil lamp, Adler type D.3?,
moulded, with a round body, irregular filler hole,
and wedge shaped knob handle. The splayed nozzle
has a bow-shaped end, concave sides, and squared
reeding consisting of seven short parallel lines
oriented toward the body of the lamp, plus two
curved lines tracing the transition to the body.
There is what could be construed as a "wing" on
one or both sides of the nozzle, but they are
barely discernible. The shoulders are decorated
in relief with single pellets surrounded by double
concentric circles. Five of these are placed toward
the nozzle with an additional one on either side
of the handle for a total of seven. The bottom
of the lamp is plain with a low ring for a base.
Dimensions: 7.6 x 5.7 x 2.7cm. Weight: 48.56gm.

Perdikkas II features prominently in Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War, in which he is described as switching sides between the Peloponnesians and the Athenians several times.
The lion on the reverse of this coin alludes to the Nemean lion killed by Herakles who was claimed to be the ancestor of Perdikkas.
Perdikkas II was a member of the Argead dynasty which would rule Macedonia for almost 400 years.
The founder of the dynasty, Perdikkas I, had led the people who called themselves Macedonians eastward from their home on the Haliacmon River around 700 BC. Aegae (Edessa) became their capital, and by the reign of Amyntas I in the 6th century BC, Macedonian power dominated the neighbouring Thracian tribes and when Amyntas’ successor, Alexander I advanced the Macedonian frontiers eastward to the Strymon River their power was further increased.
After the death of Alexander I in 454, Macedonia began to fall apart, but around 450 BC Perdikkas II, who was Alexander I's son, came to the throne after having asserted his succession against his brothers. Perdikkas had four brothers, Alcetas II, Philip, Menelaus and Amyntas, he also had a sister, Stratonice. Alcetas II preceded him on the throne until he was murdered by Perdikkas' son Archelaus I resulting in Perdikkas' elevation to the throne. During his reign Perdikkas united the Greek cities of Chalcidice in a federation centred on the city of Olynthus.
Perdikkas II died in 413 BC leaving his son Archelaus as heir to the throne. Archelaus adopted a strongly philhellenic policy and introduced Greek artists to his new capital at Pella. He strengthened Macedonia by building roads and fortresses, improved army equipment, and encouraged city life. However, following his assassination in 399 BC, there was seven years of murder and anarchy until finally, around 393 BC, Amyntas III, a great-grandson of Alexander I, took the throne and, although his reign was filled with anarchy and intrigue, he successfully brought unity to Macedonia.
Aigai (also Aegae, Aegeae or Aigeai) was the original capital of the Macedonians and it was also the burial-place of the Macedonian kings. It was built on a site near the modern town of Vergina.*AlexSep 27, 2021
