AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
ビザンツ様式の灰色のセラミック容器で、内空の球形本体に欠けた先端の底部を持ちます。上部は細い首となり、口部はやや広がった厚みのある縁と小さな口を備えています。こうした物は“Greek Fire”と呼ばれる爆発性液体で満たされ、ハンドグレネードとして使用されていたと考えられます。本体には数多くの擦り傷やへこみがあり、経年によるものとして一致しています。側面には髪の毛のようなひび割れが走っています。
Greek fire（液体炎とも呼ばれる）は、ビザンツ帝国の武器庫で最も有名な武器であり、 Arabの攻撃から何世紀もにわたりビザンツ帝国を救ってきました。防御と攻撃の双方で使用され、帝国の生存に大きく寄与しました。可燃混合物の配合は何世紀にもわたり厳重に管理され、帝国崩壊後には取り返しのつかないほど失われました。その正確な組成は現在も不明ですが、研究では石油を重要な成分として挙げています。平均的な大きさと握り方から、手投げの近距離戦闘での使用を示唆しますが、遠距離戦や海上作戦でのグレネードの使用を否定するものではなく、おそらく投石機で投げられていたと考えられます。
測定値（概算）：長さ12cm、幅7.9cm
来歴：元は英国の私蔵コレクション、1990年代に取得
