"Roman Oil Lamp, Also Known As A "eared Lamp," Nearly 2000 Years Old"

This particular oil lamp is called an "eared and guttered" lamp.
These terracotta lamps are characterized by two symmetrically positioned ears or fins on either side of the basin and a small V-shaped gutter or channel that connects the base to the spout.
This type of lamp is dated to the late first or early second century AD.
A fairly rare model,

In very good condition, with a two-thousand-year-old patina.
