The purpose of this presentation is to mark a series of observation regarding roman lamps from Dacia during the beginning years of this province, as is shown by results of archeological discoveries.
Knowing the types of roman lamps which circulate in Roman Empire from middle of first century BC and the beginning of second century BC and the fact that Dacian lighting instruments are completely different by the roman types, it is relatively easy to observe which lamps are brought in the new born roman province -Dacia. Problems occur when we try to establish a certain preparation between types of lamps from circulation/production time point of view.
That is what we try to present in the case of Dacia, which type or which lamps could be possibly shown as "early" lighting roman instruments in this area, apart of lamps with longer circulation/production time.
