Dear dialers all, Last November I had the very good fortune to get a special tour of the prisons of the Inquisition under the church of S. Domenico of Narni in central Italy. One of the cells was covered with mostly 18th-century graffiti, among which there appears to be a sundial: a dial, about the size of a modern wall clock, numbered I thru VI, with apparently a gnomon, now bent.
I have a good photo of this *thing* and some further details here: http://www.ukans.edu/history/index/europe/ancient_rome/private/sundial.html Can anyone clear up about what to me is a total mystery? Thanks in advance to any who try (or who point me to the obvious and elementary). Bill Thayer LacusCurtius http://www.ukans.edu/history/index/europe/ancient_rome/E/Roman
