Bronze lamps and candlesticks were a sign of luxury and were reserved for the elite and wealthier classes. They were safeguarded and passed down as precious heirlooms for several generations.
Byzantine lamps were a continuation of the Roman lamps. The rising influence of Christianity and increased use in Byzantine churches changed the decorative elements and iconography. Bronze lamp productions seems to have halted after the Arab invasion in the 7th century.
