Lamps from Ephesos rank among the Hellenistic pottery products from Ephesos that are found most frequently in the Mediterranean world. As part of an OeAD-Scholarship Mag. Dr. Marina Ugarković is spending a year at the Austrian Archaeological Institute researching their production and distribution in the Hellenistic world. In particular she will focus on the development of the Ephesian production sites since the 2nd century BCE to the Augustan period and the various trade and transport routes for the dissemination of the goods.
