AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
ビザンチン期の陶器製容器で、中空の球形本体はわずかに尖った基部と、穏やかな円筒形の輪郭を持つ。上部は短く広い首を立ち上げ、厚い縁で小さな口を広げている。肩部には、グレネードの肩部に沿う溝の装飾が施されている。欠けやグレネード下部のへこみ、容器本体と口縁の表面の打痕といった使用痕が見られる。表面には土性の付着物と変色があり、いずれも年齢相応である。口縁の欠け。
この品は、爆発性液体として知られる『ギリシャの炎（Greek Fire）』を充填して手榴弾として使用されていた。液体の炎としても知られるギリシャの炎は、ビザンツ帝国の武器庫で最も有名な武器であり、長きにわたり外国の攻撃から帝国を守ってきた。防御と攻撃の両方で使用されたことから、ビザンツ帝国の存続にとって重要な役割を果たした。可燃性混合物の組成は何世紀にもわたり厳重に秘匿され、帝国崩壊後には取り返しのつかない形で失われた。その正確な成分は、今日に至るまで知られていない。平均的な大きさと握り方から、近距離戦闘で手投げされたと推測されるが、長距離戦闘や海上戦でもグレネードが使用されていた可能性を排除するものではない。おそらくは投石機で投げられたと見られる。
寸法：高さ 10 cm×幅 7 cm
来歴：英国の私蔵コレクションより、1990年代に取得。
