University Museum of Tübingen Rome Oil Lamp
Roman oil lamp characterized by a triangular wick hole and decorated with spiral patterns. The decorative style embodies the refinement and pragmatism of Roman art. Its design is not only beautiful, but also takes into account the efficiency of lighting. Three concentric circles inside depict a pegasus, a winged horse in Roman mythology that symbolizes power and speed. It is a lighting tool in the daily life of the Roman period, and it is also the crystallization of art and technology. It not only provides a light source, but also reflects the cultural and religious beliefs of the society at that time to a certain extent. Originated in Sardinia and donated by EduardToda.
