Roman everyday objects were
often decorated with motives of the aquatic environment. Very interesting group
of such a artifacts are roman oil lamps found in the Roman provinces Germania
Superior and Germania Inferior. They are characterized by repetition of
iconographic themes connected to river or sea navigation. This paper deals with
an attempt of interpretation connection between oil lamps and their
decorations.
