According to my information, the lamp is an Antiochian import based on Roman models. These types date to 256 CE. They have concave tops, no handle and is decorated with designs and figures. One Antiochian lamp had some features exactly as in the lamp for identification, namely the curls near the nozzle with three vertical lines or four directly under the opening at the nozzle. Type VI is a better choice since the hole for the pouring of the oil is not exactly in the center of the lamp top but on the side, just like the lamp for identification.
