candelabrum - a receptacle for the common earthenware lamp, which has been suspended from the roof or side of the house. Several nails have been found, portions of bits, a prick spur, several knives, spearheads, and a mason's chisel. There is one curious implement, which I never saw before amongst Roman remains - an instrument five inches long, having at one extremity a receptacle for a wooden handle, and terminating at the other in three whirls like a modern corkscrew. There are also two formidable insttruments, which look uncommonly like fetter-locks."
