Dear list members,
IN the article The History of
the Sundial : The Beginning of Recorded Time found
at
I quote:' Almost
1500 years later, the emperor of Rome, Augustus (63 B.C. ñ 14 A.D.) moved
Cleopatraís Needle to Alexandria, founded by Alexander the Great some three
hundred years before. The hemicyclium in question was unearthed
at the base of Cleopatraís Needle there; the numeral style indicates it was
there after Alexander (about 332 B.C.). This artifact now resides in the British
Museum.'
In
short, I am interested in learning more about this particular hemicyclium.
Sincerely,
Ronit Maoz |
