Lux Mortis: A material study of Roman lamps in funerary practice in Gerulata

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The auxilliary camp of Gerulata (present-day Bratislava-Rusovce, Slovakia) was founded in the late Flavian period, and housed a cavalry ala for most of its existence. Its adjoining cemeteries contained Roman lamps as a major group of grave goods, in bothcremation and inhumation graves until the early 3rd century AD, when lamps ceased to be deposited. Altogether 93 graves out of 336 contained a total of 106 lamps, a largely 2nd century assembly of both Firma- and Bildlampen. Lamps played a part in funeral rites, usually to be burned on the pyre; at Gerulata they were second only to pottery in abundance though they occur in varying proportion across different cemeteries and burial types. Their context in burial practice and relationship with other gravegoods is analysed throughout; notably, inhumation graves otherwise lacking in funerary gifts have lamps associated with child burials. Despite comparison of relief stamps and decoration with other Noric-Pannonian material, the proportion
