Height sundial

 

Piazza Donatori di Sangue - Aiello
 

Photo n° 9

Ancient hours remained in use in our peninsula until the end of the Roman Empire. An Ancient hour equals the 12th part of a diurnal day.

The sundial indicates the 4th hour from sunrise if the picture was taken in the morning, or the 8th hour if it was taken in the afternoon.
