It has eight vertical sundials with pin gnomons. The most famous Roman
sundial was likely the large horizontal azimuth dial in Rome which used an
Egyptian obelisk for a gnomon. Romans also used altitude dials, including the

Dear Sara I understand that
The first one (Zvartnoz) is the replica of the original one inside the museum.
