The Talmud (Shabbos f. 23b) discusses the matter of “Ner sheyesh bo shtei piyoth olah leshtei benei adam” that is, lighting an oil lamp that has two spouts, with one wick placed in each of the spouts. The question raised is whether two people may each consider their duty fulfilled by lighting Chanukah lights in such a fashion?
The present ancient oil lamp is precisely the artifact the Gemara is referencing.
