К собранию светильников римского времени из Тиры
On Collection of Roman Time Lamps from Tyra

Summary/Abstract: Recent excavations on Ancient Classic town of Tyra (Belgorod-Dnestrovskii in Odessa Oblast’) revealed a series of wheel-thrown open lamps in the Roman layers. These lamps find no analogues among the materials of Ancient towns on Northern and Western Black Sea Coast (fig. 1, 2). Besides Tyra where already about fifteen such lamps have been found, two artefacts have been found in Nikonia (left bank of Dniester Firth) and Luzanovka (shore of Odessa Bay). We suppose that this original type of lamps could have been produced in Tyra itself. They have a rather wide dating – II-III centuries AD.
