Soprintendenza per i Beni Archeologici dell'Emilia-Romagna | Firmalampen, or "factory lamps," found at sites in Modena, Italy. These lamps were one of the first mass-produced goods in Roman times and they carried brand names clearly stamped on their clay bottoms.

Wow - coolest thing ever - looks like somebody ‘collected the whole set’...

14 lead bullets which were probably used in the Battle of Mutina in 43 B.C.

I am really curious as to what kind of lead bullets were used in 43 B.C..

Okay, I’ll be the one to ask the stupid question:

Why do all of these oil lamps look exactly alike, except for the names? And why are all the names in the same typeface? (Or whatever you would call that.) I thought these were by different companies, so why don’t they have different models and different appearances?

(Anyone? Buehler?)
