Biblical Roman Herodian clay oil lamp with some burning marks "Soot" on the nozzle Dated from, 37 BC - 70 AD "Time of Jesus and King Herod the great"Named 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 lamp is the best choice from the time of Jesus.
