BBC News: Rare Roman lantern found in field near Sudbury.

”The lantern dates from between 43 and 300 AD. It is like a modern hurricane lamp and the naked flame would have been protected by a thin sheet of horn which had been scraped and shaped until it was see-through.” Startlingly modern in design!
