Notes:
Cf. Chrzanovski, 'Lamps from the ... castrum of Novae', PAM 2019, 1 (found at Novae, Moesia); (body) Konestra & Ožanić Roguljić, Clay lamps from the Kvarner region, p.20 (found at Fulfinum); (base) BMC III, Q3239; Broneer, Corinth, 474-5 (Type XXIV); Bailey, Sidi Khrebish, C693; Deneauve, 638.
The combination of double-headed axe motif and planta pedis mark on other examples suggests a Levantine origin.
