Subject: Rome Pantheon Sundial?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall reading about this on this list
before.
An article from 2011, titled "Is Rome’s Pantheon a Giant Sundial?"
is shown at
http://www.history.com/news/is-romes-pantheon-a-giant-sundial
It quotes a book “Time in Antiquity,” by Hannahas saying
“In design terms, a conscious effort was made by the architect and builders to
make the sun do something special in the Pantheon at the equinoxes,”
The book was reviewed in 2009 here:
