Summary/Abstract: In the tumular necropolis near Stejaru, Tulcea County, a Firmalampen type lamp, produced locally, bearing the mark of A.Filuminus, was found. This is the second such item found until now, after the lamp discovered at Barboşi, Galati County. A coin from Septimius Severus provides the dating. The closest analogies for the shape of the lamp and the letter font are found at Durostorum-Ostrov (Farm 4).
