Roman lamp question
#1
So, I know that phosphorous matches are a relatively new phenomenon and so I was wondering how the romans lit their lamps. I also know that before the phosphorous match the most prevalent method of fire starting was the flint and steel method, but it doesn't seem like a suitable method for lighting a candle, so does anyone know? Also I was wondering what a legionary would carry in terms of fire-starting stuff?
