The Romans used street lighting primarily for safety and to enhance the functionality of their urban environments. They employed oil lamps placed in brackets along walls and in public spaces to illuminate streets at night, allowing for safer travel and reducing crime. This lighting also facilitated social interactions and commerce after dark, reflecting the Romans' emphasis on public life and urban planning.
