Terracotta oil lamp made in central Italy, 1st century AD, and featuring a racing chariot. The upper portion of the lamp was assembled from a number of fragments by a conservator at the Rhenish State Museum in Trier, Germany (an institution with an extensive collection of Roman material). The lamp was formerly in a German collection.

The British Museum's Catalogue of Greek and Roman Lamps (from 1914) describes a similar example (alas however, not illustrated): "Within a moulded rim, a biga galloping to l., the charioteer leaning forward, wearing long chiton with fasciae round waist, brandishing goad in r. hand and holding reins in l." Their lamp is described as having been found in Pozzuoli, and was bequeathed to the museum by Sir William Temple, in 1856.
