Un opaiţ de bronz bizantin de la Porolissum

  • Subiect: A New Byzantine Christian Lamp from Porolissum The authors discuss a fragment of a bronze lamp found at Porolissum and kept in the History and Art Museum of Zalău. The item is a part of the family collection Wessellenyi-Telcki of Jibou (Sălaj County) which includes mainly items found at Porolissum (Moigrad; Sălaj County). Fig. 1. Fig. 1 a-b- (restored lamp). On the basis of the analogies given by the form of the lamp, the way and the manner of the expectation, its decorative elements and their type the authors conclude that the lap belongs to the byzantine type of Christian Coptic lamp dating from the 5th-6th centuries A. D. A lamp from Volubilis (Mauretina Tingitana) (fig. 2/2) offers a perfect analogy. The presence of a Christian Coptic lamp at Poroli6sum in the 5th-6th centuries A. D. does not surprise. There are other discoveries here which show that the Daco-Roman christian community survived up to this date, it was important enough to be able to keep in touch with the big Christian centers from the Byzantine Empire.
