The collection in the Istanbul Archaeological Museum illustrates
the range of bronze lamp production in the Eastern Mediterranean
from the Archaic to the Late Roman world. The collection is
particularly rich in lamps from the Early Christian period and also
includes polycandela for glass lamps. Although provenance is often
lacking, the Istanbul lamps nevertheless offer a useful and
interesting body of material for the student of lighting technology
in the ancient world. The present catalogue lists metal lamps,
lampstands, polycandela, lanterns, suspension chains, and lamplids
which have entered the museum's collection up to the end of 1998.
Only a few examples of the collection are published.
