| Summary: | A small group of mummiform bronze lamps is taken into consideration here in the light of magical texts as tools for mantic or oracular rituals. The iconography of the mummy surrounded by a snake has been recently attested by another specimen from Antioch. This new sample provides occasion for some considerations. Moreover, a lamp from Luni, the face of which reminds the Antinoos iconography, is taken into account as a witness of the oracular role of Antinoos. (English) |
