Abstrakt: The paper discusses the lamps discovered during the excavations carried out on the site from V. Deleu Street, a residential area situated in the northern end of Roman Napoca. The excavations brought to light an urban residential area, which was established immediately after the birth of the Roman province and was inhabited until its abandonment in the latter half of the 3rd century AD. A small part of the lychnological material resulting from the excavations was included in C. A. Roman's unpublished thesis on the Roman lighting equipment in Dacia Porolissensis (16 out of the 49 pieces), the greater part of the assemblage being unpublished. The present paper discusses the lighting devices discovered on the site, focusing on their provenance, chronology and aspects related to their use within the site. The changes recorded in the composition of the lighting instrument assemblages throughout the habitation phases of the site outline interesting transformations in the patterns of consumption and perhaps human mobility. The current contribution is part of a wider effort intended to deal with the unpublished lighting devices from the Roman city of Napoca. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
