A Roman Bronze Oil Lamp (Lucerna), 1st to 3rd Century A.D. Fine Roman bronze oil lamp measuring 9.4 cm in length. The lamp features a classic elongated body with a prominent nozzle for the wick, a large central filling hole, and a beautifully decorated handle in the shape of a stylized leaf or palm frond with detailed veins. The piece shows an attractive dark green-brown patina with areas of lighter verdigris, typical of excavated ancient bronzes. Bronze oil lamps of this quality and design were widely used in Roman households, villas, and public spaces during the Early to High Imperial period. The ornate leaf-shaped handle is a characteristic decorative element found in higher-quality Roman lighting devices.
