These lamps, typically made from clay, bronze, or terracotta, were fueled by oil, often olive oil, which was abundant in the Roman Empire. The lamps had a simple design, usually consisting of a shallow basin with a spout where a wick would be placed to burn the oil. Some lamps featured intricate designs, including depictions of gods, animals, mythological scenes, and geometric patterns, making them not only practical tools but also a form of artistic expression. Roman oil lamps were widely used in homes, public buildings, and outdoor spaces, offering a much-needed light source after sunset.The production of oil lamps was widespread, and their forms varied depending on the region and period. Early Roman lamps often featured a round or oval shape, but by the 1st century BCE, they began to take on more elaborate designs, including those shaped like animals, heads, and even miniature architectural forms. Lamps were frequently mass-produced in workshops, and many examples have been found in archaeological sites across the Roman Empire, from Britain to North Africa. Some lamps were designed with multiple spouts, allowing several wicks to burn at once, while others were simple and utilitarian. The widespread use and variety of these lamps suggest they were integral to daily Roman life, found in homes, tombs, temples, and even used for public ceremonies.In addition to their functional role, Roman oil lamps had symbolic and religious significance. Lamps were often placed in tombs as part of funerary rituals, symbolizing the continuation of life or guiding the deceased’s soul to the afterlife. They were also used in religious ceremonies and offerings to gods, particularly in the context of private worship or in the homes of wealthy Romans who could afford to have them as part of their domestic cult practices.

Made primarily from iron, bronze, or sometimes brass, Roman keys varied in design, but they generally consisted of a long shaft with a curved or looped head that engaged with the lock mechanism. The keys were often large and heavy, particularly those used for doors or storage chests, and they were frequently carried as symbols of authority, wealth, and access. Roman keys were also integral to the organization of private and public spaces, from households to temples, demonstrating how the Romans valued controlled access to both physical property and private life.The design of Roman keys was functional yet varied, with some keys featuring intricate, ornate designs, while others were more utilitarian. Large, ornate keys were often used by the wealthy or in the context of important state or religious buildings, while smaller, simpler keys were used by ordinary citizens. The variation in size and decoration of Roman keys reflects the different types of locks they were designed for, from the elaborate locking mechanisms used in villas and public buildings to simpler locks for personal use. Many Roman keys found in archaeological excavations bear decorative elements such as animal heads, religious symbols, or family crests, which were sometimes engraved into the head of the key, showcasing the owner’s identity, status, or affiliations.In addition to their practical and decorative purposes, Roman keys have an important symbolic role in Roman culture. They were sometimes depicted in art, especially in funerary contexts, to signify ownership, protection, and the safeguarding of personal or family treasures.

These lamps were often simple in design, reflecting the modest roots of early Christianity. Made typically of clay or metal, they had small, flat bodies with one or two nozzles where wicks could be inserted, and they were fueled by olive oil. As Christianity spread throughout the Roman Empire, Christian iconography began to appear on these lamps, with motifs like crosses, fish, doves, and other symbols representing faith and the promise of salvation. These lamps were used in Christian households, places of worship, and even catacombs, where they provided light and carried symbolic meaning, illuminating spaces as well as representing spiritual enlightenment.The decoration of Christian oil lamps varied widely depending on the time and region. Early examples often used simpler motifs, but as Christianity became more widely accepted, the symbols on these lamps grew more elaborate and distinctively Christian. In the Byzantine period, for instance, lamps might display scenes from biblical stories, the Chi-Rho (a symbol for Christ), or other sacred imagery. Archaeological finds of these lamps in churches and graves underscore their spiritual role, often being placed with the deceased as symbols of hope and eternal life. These lamps helped Christians subtly express their faith, especially in the pre-Constantinian period when they faced persecution.Christian oil lamps also reflected the evolving role of religious art and worship in Christian communities. Beyond functional lighting, these lamps served as teaching tools for the illiterate, using symbols to communicate complex theological concepts.

If you are from outside the European Union, we will have to apply for the export licence again for your country, this takes 3 to 5 weeks and has a cost of 5% of the hammer price, this amount will be added to the final invoice.The Roman cosmetic spoon, a delicate and specialized tool, was a staple in the personal care routines of ancient Roman women and men. Typically crafted from bronze, bone, or even precious metals like silver, these spoons featured a shallow, rounded bowl on one end, often attached to a slender handle that sometimes ended in a decorative shape, such as an animal or floral motif. The purpose of the cosmetic spoon was to apply small amounts of substances, such as oils, perfumes, and powdered cosmetics, with precision. The elegant, elongated design made it easier to handle, allowing users to apply beauty products in a refined and controlled manner.Cosmetic spoons served as part of a broader set of grooming tools, including tweezers, nail cleaners, and small mirrors, reflecting the high value Romans placed on personal hygiene and appearance. Roman beauty standards emphasized smooth, fair skin and often intricate hairstyles, so products like face powders, eye shadows, and scented oils were commonly applied. The cosmetic spoon would have been essential for mixing and applying such products, especially those that required precise application, such as kohl for lining the eyes or pigments for highlighting facial features. They were also used for mixing therapeutic ointments, further illustrating their importance in the daily rituals of self-care and healing.

These lamps were typically made of clay, bronze, or occasionally glass, and fueled by olive oil, which was readily available in the Mediterranean. Byzantine lamps generally featured a closed, often circular body with a nozzle for the wick and a handle for easy transport. Many were decorated with Christian symbols, such as crosses, fish, and chi-rho monograms, reflecting the profound influence of Christianity in Byzantine culture. These lamps provided light in homes, churches, monasteries, and public buildings, illuminating both daily and sacred spaces within Byzantine society.The design and decoration of Byzantine oil lamps evolved over time, showing the influences of earlier Roman models as well as the rise of new artistic styles. Early Byzantine lamps retained Roman features, such as the use of terracotta and simple, functional forms. However, as Christianity became more established, the iconography shifted to incorporate Christian symbols, saints, and religious scenes. Some lamps were inscribed with prayers or invocations, which were thought to provide spiritual protection or blessings. Additionally, Byzantine lamps often bore intricate floral or geometric patterns that showcased the empire’s skilled craftsmanship. This decorative approach made Byzantine lamps not only functional lighting devices but also aesthetic objects that conveyed religious and cultural identity.Beyond their use as practical tools, Byzantine oil lamps had religious and symbolic significance. Oil lamps were used in churches to symbolize the presence of divine light and as offerings in Christian rituals, reflecting themes of enlightenment and spiritual guidance. They were also placed in tombs as part of burial rites, possibly to light the way for the deceased in the afterlife.

These tools, often made of bronze, iron, or occasionally silver, included scalpels, forceps, bone saws, and probes, showing remarkable similarity to modern surgical instruments. The variety and specificity of these tools suggest that Roman practitioners could perform a range of procedures, from basic wound care to complex surgeries. Excavations of Roman military and urban sites, such as those at Pompeii and Herculaneum, have uncovered sets of medical tools, revealing that medical practitioners were well-equipped and held esteemed positions in society.Roman surgeons and physicians were skilled in both trauma care—often needed for soldiers injured in battle—and routine health care for civilians. Instruments such as bone levers were used to reset fractures, while small hooks and probes were essential for cleaning wounds and removing foreign objects. Romans had a keen understanding of hygiene and frequently boiled instruments before use, showing early practices of antiseptic care. Texts from ancient medical writers like Galen and Celsus describe procedures using these instruments, such as cataract surgery and trepanation, indicating that Roman medicine was informed by Greek medical knowledge and adapted for practical use in the Empire.The discovery of Roman medical tools provides valuable insight into the professionalization of medicine in antiquity. The presence of specialized instruments for different types of procedures suggests that Roman medicine included a degree of specialization, with some practitioners focusing on specific fields like ophthalmology or battlefield surgery.

A Restored English Holster Pistol, 12ins browned barrel (possible replacement), browned action engraved crown over R, maker's name Farmer and 1743, hardwood stock and fore end, brass pommel and trigger guard, in non-contemporary box, with some tools and accessories The weapon appears to be in a refreshed condition and is potentially a made-up piece. The lock itself is marked with the maker's name and a date of 1744. The weapon cocks, holds and fires. The fit of the lock to the woodwork leaves something to be desired and is not very precise. The barrel looks to be a possible replacement and has no visible proof marks. The brass work is definitely reproduction and has been added at a later date. However the piece is a nice decorative item and is complete with a prefabricated box which is possibly an old cutlery box but certainly the gun fits well.
