FORTI, Silvia, Lucerne di Leptis Magna. Dall’età ellenistica all’età tardoantica.

A comprehensive catalog of over 2000 lamps from Leptis Magna, a prominent Roman emporium in Tripolitania, reveals detailed insights into the city's daily life, trade, and craftsmanship spanning from the Hellenistic to Late Antique periods. Silvia Forti's meticulous analysis provides unprecedented data on lamp production, distribution, and consumption patterns, with a focus on regional variations in typology and provenance. This study overcomes challenges posed by complex lamp classifications and disparate chronological attributions, offering a rich resource for understanding Roman culture, commerce, and artisanal practices in one of the Mediterranean's most significant archaeological sites.
