Hi Bill and all, Could it be an am pm thing. I see the numerals after noon as AI and AII. A P for post would be more appropriate. In Latin A=ante =before but perhaps now A=after as in afternoon in globalspeak. Perhaps we need a Lingua Franca like Latin or Esperanto or English.

Hello All, A friend returned from Italy with this photo (94kb) of a vertical dial. Some of the numbers are hard to read, but near noon they seem to run X, XI, XII, V, IV, III. Can someone explain this to me? I do not know wall declination or the angle of the gnomon. -Bill -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/sundial
