Common ceramic lamp with a red slip of the scrolls type. In the disc it displays a relief corresponding to a major deity in the Roman pantheon, the goddess Minerva. This deity represents wisdom, arts and also war from the strategic perspective. The female figure has the characteristic attributes of this goddess: a long dress to the feet, like a Greek peplum, a helmet, a spear and a shield.
