Description

The lamp, dated to the second half of the 2nd century/the early 3rd century AD, is of Italic production and its findspot is unknown. Since the 3rd century BC lamps were made of clay in moulds of the top and bottom side, attached to each other an fired. They are lens-shaped, have a projecting spout and show a rich ornamentation in relief on the top side. The hole in the top side was used to fill in the oil while the hole in the spout held the wick. The Romans used vegetable oil, especially from olives. The relief on the top side of the Bonn example shows in the background some multistoried buildings next to the water. In the foreground on the left there is a fisherman standing on rocky ground who casted a net. On the right side there is another fisherman sitting in a boat.

Expected crawler behaviour

Use a stable, truthful User-Agent with product/version and a working contact URL. Across all IP addresses and HTTP connections used by one crawler identity, allow no more than 5 requests in flight and wait at least 20 seconds between request starts. Crawl URLs listed in the catalog sitemap, including file pages and download URLs when they are published, use conditional requests, honor Retry-After, and apply exponential backoff after errors.

The welcome page may link to the interactive repository for human navigation. Automated clients must not treat that human link as a catalog crawl target.

Read the live machine-readable crawler policy before and during a crawl. Stop crawling when it reports CPU or memory utilization at or above 80% and 80% respectively.
