The "three pointed" oil lamp? Real or fantasy?
#5
I take it you mean the 'triple' lamps, that hang from chains, Pedro?

You will be pleased to know they are not fantasy !! Big Grin

A number of these come from Pompeii ( as did much else of the settings in "Rome" ) , some quite elaborately decorated, e.g. with actors tragic masks.
