EDITORS COMMENTS
1. This assemblage of Roman and Etruscan lamps and candlesticks showcases the rich cultural heritage of ancient civilizations. The first item, a metal candlestick with a lamp above it, displays intricate metalwork typical of Roman craftsmanship. The lamp itself, with its simple yet elegant design, would have provided light for both practical and ceremonial purposes. 2. The Etruscan metal lamp in the shape of a foot in a sandal is a unique and intriguing piece from the ancient Etruscan civilization. This foot-shaped lamp, with its detailed sandal design and patina, would have been both functional and decorative in an Etruscan household. 3. The terracotta lamp owned by Mr. Gilii adds a warm and rustic touch to the collection. Its simple yet elegant design, with a narrow neck and wide base, is typical of terracotta lamps from the ancient world. 4. The portable lamp from a bas-relief owned by Mr. de Angelis is a testament to the ingenuity of ancient craftsmen. Its compact size and intricate design make it an ideal companion for travelers and soldiers on the move. 5. The copperplate engraving by Pietro Ruga, after an illustration by Lorenzo Rocceggiani, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of ancient costumes. The illustration of these lamps and candlesticks is just one of the many intriguing images in Rocceggiani's 100 Plates of Costumes Religious, Civil and Military of the Ancient Egyptians, Etruscans, Greeks and Romans. 6. Together, these lamps and candlesticks offer a captivating glimpse into the daily life and cultural practices of the ancient Romans and Etruscans. Their intricate designs, functional versatility, and enduring beauty continue to captivate and inspire us today.
