BIBLICAL ROMAN HERODIAN SET OIL LAMP AND JAR,37BC-70 AD

Directly from Jerusalem, very attractive ancient biblical Roman Herodian set (OIL LAMP and Jar) dated from, 37 BC - 70 AD

Second temple period
"Time of Jesus and King Herod the Great"

Known as the Herodian because of its widespread use during the reign of Herod the Great in Israel (circa 37 BC to 4 BC), this lamp was wheel-made with the spout applied by hand. Thus, every Herodian lamp is slightly different. The type remained in use up to about AD 150 in some parts of the Holy Land

This beautiful set is the best choice for those wishing to have items like those most common in Judea during the ministry of Jesus.
