2013, Akta sa stručnog skupa: Antičke svetiljke, hronolgija, tipologija i ornamentika održan u Beogradu 2011 (Proceedings of Scientific meeting: Ancient Lamps: chronology, typology and ornaments, held in Belgrade 2011) Muzej grada Beograda (Belgrade City Museum), Beograd 2013.
The paper deals with an exceptionally well preserved copper alloy lamp (Bailey group g) treasured in the Medieval Collection of the Belgrade City museum. The exact location of the find is unknown but it is likely to originate within the territory of ancient Singidunum. The lamp is in a good state of preservation with a carinated body and a loop handle with a massive solid cast cross above it . Similar lamps have been reported at a few sites in Danube Basin (Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania) but majority originate from the Middle East. They are generally considered as imports from the Eastern Mediterrenian, mainly from Egypt and Syria, and dated to the period of 6th and early 7th century. Physical and chemical analyses showed that the lamp is made of brass. It represent an object of fine workmanship that could have been the property of some influental person or church inventory from Singidunum or its enviroment.

L. CHRZANOVSKI, A. NESTOROVIĆ, V. VIDRIH PERKO. MI-59. ANCIENT LAMPS FROM BALKANS AND BEYOND. Acts of the 4th International Lychnological Congress («Ex Oriente Lux», Ptuj, 15th-19th of May, 2012). In memory of Jean Bussière . 2019, 542 p., ill. coul. (ISBN : 978-2-35518-088-0). Collection dirigée par M. Feugère With 50 articles, the present volume constitutes the most important collection of researches devoted to lamps and lighting in the ancient world and beyond. Two innovative researches introduce us to the technical problematics of the ancient fuels and wicks as well as of the real lighting power and diffusion provided by lamps in specific, well-studied archaeological spaces, a transdisciplinary approach made with the most modern techniques. Chronologically prehistory is represented by the very first lamp unearthed in Slovenia and dated to the 5th millennium BC as well as by the very aesthetic boat-shaped lamps of the Sardinian culture of the Nuraghi. Political and religious symbolism of light is analyzed through very complementary examples : on coins, on imperial representations, in the frame of Isis' and Mithra's cults and, later on, in churches and mosques. Material culture analysis is the core of the book, but offering a panorama extended to poorly known areas such as Mesopotamian sites in antiquity or Tajikistani sites during their golden medieval age. Naturally, studies on the Roman lamps of Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia and Albania constitute the hugest group of articles, twinned by neighboring regions like Moesia, Dacia, Dobrogea to the East, Pannonia, Venetia, Cisalpina, Campania and Apulia to the West, but also to more remote areas like Malta or Spain. Analysis on late antique lamps allow to draw very interesting parallels between Egnatia, Aquileia and the Slovenian, Dalmatian and Dacian discoveries. Last but not least, Egypt, the Near East and lamps found or "invented" in Rome at the 17th century are presented through unpublished materials from the museums of San Marino, Zürich and Pesaro.

An “achtformige” bronze lamp from Ptuj/Poetovio2019 •
This research highlights a recent discovery, at Poetovio, among a huge number of standard imported Roman oil lamps, of an open-shape copper-alloy lamp to be used with tallow (type Loeschcke XXV). This form, together with its clay counterpart (type Loeschcke XI), is typical of the northern Roman limes provinces where its production and usage was almost exclusive. To understand the uniqueness of this find so far south, the authors have mapped all the known parallels made of different metals. They also present a short introduction to the very eclectic clay variant, which is marginal almost everywhere except for Trier, where it constitutes by far the most common type, quantitatively speaking, of Roman lamps found in situ.

The paper explores one category of wheel-made lamp, which is characterized by an ovoid body, an oblong nozzle and a cylindrical neck. Its six sub-types were common during the 6th and the 7th centuries AD in regions of the eastern Mediterranean. It is further suggested that one of these sub-types, which is common in the Aegean region, constitutes a ‘koinè’ in this area.

Bu çalışmada Fethiye Müzesi'nde sergilenen iki bronz kandil incelenmiştir. Her iki kandil de bronz döküm tekniği ile yapılmıştır. Bronzun içeriğinde %90 bakır, %10 kalay bulunur. Yüksek oranda tercih edilmesinin sebebi bakıra nazaran daha sağlam olması ve bakırın aksine eritildiği zaman kabarcık yapmamasıdır. Kullanım özelliğini kaybeden bronz kandiller eritilip tekrar tekrar kullanılmıştır. Bunun sonucunda günümüze az sayıda gelmelerine neden olmuştur. Dolayısıyla bugün müzelerde sergilenen bronz kandiller, müzelerin en nadide örnekleri arasında sayılırlar. Değerlendirilen kandillerden birisi Muğla-Köyceğiz Cumhuriyet Savcılığından hibe yolu ile (FK1), diğeri Niyazi Yıldırım'dan müsadere yolu ile müzeye kazandırılmıştır (FK2). Her ikisinin de buluntu yeri belli değildir. Buna karşın eldeki verilerle ikinci örneğin Kaunos'tan ele geçmiş olabileceği düşünülmüştür. Kazı konteksi olmadıkları için her iki kandil de yaygın bir çalışma metodu olan analojik benzer örnekleri vasıtasıyla, erken Bizans Dönemi'ne tarihlendirilmiştir (MS 6.-7. Yüzyıl). Bugün Türkiye Müzelerinde sergilenen bronz kandillerin büyük çoğunluğunun da Erken Bizans Döneminden olması dikkati çeker. Bu onların doğrudan dönem için popülerliğini gösterir.

The Władysław Łęga Museum in Grudziądz, one of the oldest museums in Poland, has in its collection two ancient oil lamps that have not been published until now. Both lamps are of high quality and of unique form and decoration, even if demanding immediate conservation. An analysis of form and decoration allowed to establish with a high degree of probability the date and place of their manufacture, but some doubts remain about when and where they were acquired. Since the collection itself, as well as its inventories, suffered during the Second World War, the authors had to apply methods of " museum archaeology " to establish prove-nience of the lamps. Both donors have been identifi ed, and time when the lamps found their way to the museum determined. The data provided by the formal analysis allowed to formulate a hypothesis concerning the prove-nience of the lamps, based on similar, and better recognized, specimens from other collections. The publication of the Grudziądz lamps not only contributes to the history of antiquarianism in Poland, but also provides important data about Roman lamp-making industry.
