Roman Lamps

These types of oil lamps were in use in the ancient world for thousands of years, and remained in use through Roman times. They were filled with oil and a wick was placed in the hole at the tip of the lamp. The wick absorbs the oil and burns, much like a candle. (A candle can also be placed in these lamps and burned directly.) Roman lamps could be carried by hand or set down to light the inside of a house. They were sometimes used to light alters or temples as well.
