They had their origins in simple bowls filled with oil. Roman Era Terracotta Oil Lamp from Israel: 100-300 AD. I acquired this lamp from an auction of various collectibles from Israel. I was told this is an Ancient oil lamp brought from Israel that dates 100-300AD. It is very small and fits in the palm of the hand. It is similar to clay oil lamps many tourists bring home from their trips to the Holy Land. Own a piece of archaeological history! The size is approx. 3.25" x 2" x 1" tall. It would be a great museum piece to have authenticated! Clay oil lamps provided light throughout the history of the Holy Land. Oil lamps were simple, utilitarian vessels, typically small enough to hold in one hand. They had their origins in simple bowls filled with oil. One end of a wick would be placed in the oil, and the other end would be lit with a flame. Over time, potters began pinching one or more sides of the bowl to create a secure place for the wick to rest. In the Greek period, lamps formed in molds became popular, and this style of lamp continued through the Roman period. Some of these lamps were plain, while others were highly decorated.
