Lucernas romanas de Ossonoba O conjunto a intervenção da Rua Infante D. Henrique nº 58-60 (Faro, Portugal)

Abstract

This work presents the results of the study of the set of roman lamps collected during the archaeological excavation carried out in 2004 at Rua Infante D. Henrique Nº 58-60 (Faro, Portugal). This intervention was carried out in a site that use to belong to the roman city of Ossonoba and that had its chronology defined between the first half of the 1st century AD and the first third/half of the 5th. The ceramological study that we present here had as main focus the chronotypological analysis, as well as the iconography and epigraphy present in the lamp fragments. The studied set presents a great diversification in terms of morphologies and the chronology that reflects a more intense occupation of the site is marked out between the middle of the 1st century and the end of the 3rd/beginning of the 4th.
