AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
ビザンツ時代の陶製容器。中空の球状胴部は、丸みを帯びた底部に向かってわずかにすぼまっている。上部には短く細い頸部が立ち上がり、小さな口と厚い縁を備える。肩部には、頸部の付け根から外側へ渦巻くように伸びる、4本一組の刻線が施されている。その下の胴部には、底部でわずかに湾曲する縦方向の刻線が、同じく4本一組で刻まれている。このような品は「ギリシア火」として知られる爆発性の液体を詰め、手榴弾として使用されたと考えられる。表面には土状の付着物、擦り傷、へこみ、欠けが見られる。口縁と肩部には大きな欠けがある。
液体火とも呼ばれるギリシア火は、ビザンツ軍で最も有名な兵器であり、アラブ軍の攻撃から何世紀にもわたってビザンツ帝国を守った。防衛と攻撃の双方で用いられ、ビザンツ帝国の存続に大きく貢献した。可燃性混合物の製法は何世紀にもわたり厳重に秘匿され、帝国の崩壊後、完全に失われた。その正確な成分は今日に至るまで不明だが、研究では石油が重要な材料として使われていた可能性が示唆されている。平均的な大きさと握りやすい形状から、近距離戦では手で投げられたと考えられるが、遠距離戦や海戦での使用が否定されるわけではない。おそらく投石機で投げられたのだろう。
サイズ：長さ16cm × 幅10.2cm
来歴：英国の個人コレクション旧蔵、1990年代に入手。
