Italiano: Le lucerne romane di I secolo d.C. presentano il disco decorato in rilievo con i più svariati soggetti. Le lucerne che mostrano scene esplicite di accoppiamenti sessuali erano ovunque molto diffuse nel mondo romano (difatti si sono rinvenute in case private e botteghe), e se è vero che esse non erano destinate ai bordelli (i cd. lupanari) tuttavia le scene ritratte sono di prostituzione: infatti le differenti posizioni erotiche che vi si riscontrano sono identiche a quelle mostrate sugli affreschi dei lupanari (per esempio quelli a Pompei). Va ricordato e sottolineato che una donna romana libera e/o sposata non poteva mai essere rappresentata in questo modo. Le scene erotiche del mondo della prostituzione si riconoscono nettamente per il dominio del maschio sulla donna, dell'uomo libero sulla schiava, del dominus sull' ancilla: il ruolo della donna è sempre e unicamente quello di servire l'uomo e di subire ogni suo desiderio. Di ben altro carattere sono gli affreschi erotici rinvenuti in case private (per esempio a Pompei), dove in un'atmosfera più tranquilla e paritaria dominano il corteggiamento, i preamboli, il bacio, il palpeggiare dei seni. Questo genere di scene soft è tanto raro quanto inesistente sulle lucerne.
English: The Roman lamps of the first century A.D. presenting the disc decorated in relief with the most various subjects. The lamps that show explicit scenes of sexual intercourse were everywhere very common in the Roman world (in fact they are found in private homes and shops), and if it is true that they were not destined to brothels (the socalled lupanaria), however the depicted scenes are of prostitution: in fact the different erotic positions that are show are identical to those on the frescos of lupanaria (for example those in Pompeii). It must be remembered and emphasized that a free and/or married Roman woman could never be represented in this way. The erotic scenes in the world of prostitution can be recognized clearly by the male dominance over woman, by the free man on the slave, by the dominus on the ancilla: the role of women is always and only to serve the man and to undergo his every desire. Of a very different character are the erotic frescos found in private homes (for example in Pompeii), where in a quieter and equalitarian atmosphere dominates the courtship, the preamble, kissing, the touch of her breasts. This kind of soft scenes is as rare as non-existent on oil lamps.
