Shedding New Light on a Lot of Roman Lamps from Tomis from the Maria and Dr. George Severeanu Collection

Summary/Abstract: The paper revisits a lot of early Roman lamps from Tomis, part of the Maria and George Severeanu collection. The items were previously published by dr. Severeanu himself in 1936 and later by C. Băluță. However, certain features were left out or not sufficiently discussed by the previous authors, and will be added in this article. The description of each lamp is completed with the details of fabric and manufacture, as well as specific features, such as the inscription mentioning Euctemon on one of the lamps and other potter’s marks. All the lamps are registered as originating from Tomis, dating from the 1st to the 4th centuries AD, and are organized in this paper according to their presumed workshops – Pontic (including local/regional workshops from Dobruja), Aegean and Micro-Asian, Egypt.
