LANTERNS 



A Roman lantern consists of a small oil lamp set in the middle of 

 a cylindrical frame, originally enclosed with some transparent sub- 

 stance, such as mica or horn. There is a perforated cover, which 

 could be lifted so as to get at the lamp. A handle for carrying is 

 connected by chains to the two upright pieces of the frame. Smith, 

 Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities, s. v. lanterna; Overbeck,
