Description

The elegant bronze oil lamp, datable to the 2nd century, perhaps produced in workshops in southern Italy, was found in 1953 in the area of today's Convent of the Ursuline Sisters, in Via Cavestro (PR), together with about forty other objects in bronze hidden inside a large terracotta vase and then buried as a "treasure" following the political-social and economic crisis that hit the Roman Empire in the third century. A.D

The lamp has the shape of a foot shod by a sandal with knotted bands, closed on the front by a Gorgon's head element, caught in the act of trampling on a moth, perhaps to recall the function of the object itself, whose light was able to drive away the darkness.
