Sumario:Ephesian terracotta oil lamps are a group of Hellenistic lamps used during the last two centuries BC and probably also in the 1st century AD. This very interesting mould-made type has very characteristic form, clay and ornamentation. Widespread across the whole Mediterranean, they were present in Cyprus and examples were discovered during the Paphos Agora Project. From certain findings it is even possible to suggest that Nea Paphos was a place where they were produced.
