Description: | Roman oil lamps are generally rare in northern Britain, but a fine example such as this made of copper alloy and with multiple wick holes was likely to have been brought in from the Mediterranean area. This example was found in the area of the house used by the Commanding Officer of the fort and may have come with one of them when he arrived to take up his post at Arbeia Roman Fort sometime in the second century.
