AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

巨大なビザンチン期の陶製容器で、空洞の球形本体を持ち、底部は尖っている。上部は短く細長い首へと立ち上がり、厚い縁口がやや外向きに開き、小さな口を作っている。手榴弾は肩部に二つの彫られた溝しかなく、首を囲むように走っている以外は装飾なし。胴体と口部には欠け、へこみ、表面の点状の腐蝕痕が見られる。土成分の付着や表面の変色も認められる。

この品は爆発性液体として知られる『ギリシャ火炎』で満たされており、手榴弾として使用された。ギリシャ火炎、別名液体の炎は、ビザンチン軍の最も有名な武器であり、何世紀にもわたり外敵の攻撃からビザンチン人を救ってきた。防御と攻撃の両方の局面で使用され、ビザンツ帝国の生存において重要な役割を果たした。燃焼混合物の配合は何世紀にもわたり厳重に秘匿され、帝国の崩壊後には取り返しのつかないほど失われた。その正確な組成は今日まで不明のままである。平均的な大きさと握りから、短距離の戦闘で手によって投げられたと考えられるが、長距離戦や海戦での使用を否定するものではない。カタパルトで投げられた可能性も高い。

寸法:幅9.8cm x 高さ11.9cm

出典:英国私蔵コレクション出自、1990年代に取得。
