At Akrai in southeastern Sicily, the University of Warsaw excavations have unearthed a huge quantity of small, wheel-made, beige-slipped lamps belonging to the Roman Republican type Ricci C. The most important conclusions from the research concern the functionality of these lamps, both as devices used for lighting in everyday life and as unused elements of votive deposits, as well as their enduring presence in southeastern Sicily when they had all but disappeared elsewhere in the Roman world. The type is a derivative of an old form and peaked in popularity in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC. The last examples of this type seem to have been produced in the reign of Augustus.

The aim of this research, based on a series of unpublished lamps from Mersin, Malatya and Mardin museums and all the necessary parallels, is to propose a new hypothesis on the chronology and diffusion of the type of lamps Donald Bailey nicknamed “teapot-shaped”, well attested in continental Turkey (Konya, Akşehir, Sagalassos), where their production is very well framed. In the coastal part of Asia Minor, on the contrary, this type seems to know at least three peaks of production: the Hellenistic period, the 2nd to 3rd century AD and, finally, the 6th century AD.
