The Local, Switzerland, reports that a cooking pot filled with oil lamps has been uncovered at the site of Vindonissa, a first-century A.D. Roman legion camp. Each of the 22 lamps was decorated with an image of the moon goddess Luna, a gladiator, a lion, a peacock, or an erotic scene, and each lamp contained a bronze coin dating to A.D. 66-67. The pot also contained charred pieces of animal bone. “What astonished us was the quantity and the combination of coins and lamps,” said cantonal archaeologist Georg Matter. “The intentions behind this burial are puzzling at the moment.”
