===Early Roman=== [[File:Terracotta_lamp_MET_DP869.jpg|thumb|Terracotta lamp]] [[Image:Oil Lamp J 1.jpg|thumb|A terracotta oil lamp of the Roman Imperial era (replica)]] Production of oil lamps shifted to Italy as the main source of supply in the Early Roman era. Molds began to be used, and lamps were produced in large scale in factories. All lamps are closed in type. The lamp is produced in two parts, the upper part with the spout and the lower part with the fuel chamber. Most are of the characteristic "Imperial Type"βround, with nozzles of different forms (volute, semi-volute, U-shaped), a closed body, a central disk decorated with reliefs and a filling hole.
