This volume forms part of a series that explores the artistic and cultural relics of the ancient city of Herculaneum, particularly focusing on lamps and candelabras. The work provides insights into the various types of lamps used in antiquity, including their artistic significance, functional purposes, and cultural contexts.  The opening of the tome introduces the subject of lamps and candelabras discovered in the ruins of Herculaneum. It discusses the classification of these objects into sacred, domestic, and funerary categories, noting their diverse forms and the symbolism behind their designs. The text highlights the artistic value of these antiquities, reflecting on how they not only served practical functions but also played roles in religious ceremonies and domestic life.
