Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to present eight fragmentary Roman lamps discovered at Dinogetia and in its surroundings, during research undertaken in the mid-20th century. These lamps are currently in the custody of the Museum of History and Archaeology Tulcea. The lamps presented in this article are framed chronologically between the 2nd and the 7th c. AD. The earliest one may have been of Italic origin, and the remaining ones split equally between those produced in Asia Minor and those crafted in the West-Pontic area. In conclusion, some iconographic representations are briefly analyzed.
