Roman Period Oil Lamps in the Holy Land

Focusing on over 1000 Roman-period oil lamps from the Holy Land, this work offers a comprehensive catalogue and analysis of these artifacts housed in the Israel Antiquities Authority. It explores the Roman period in Palestine, beginning with Pompey's conquest in 63 BCE, highlighting the cultural and political integration of the region into Western civilization after the influence of Greek and Hellenistic cultures. The author also references related works on saucer lamps and Greek and Hellenistic oil lamps for further study.
