In this paper, the author presents a brief overview of how time is measured with the help of shadows from the sun and the development of sundials from the very beginning in Babylon, through Egypt and Greece to the Roman Empire. Similar examples of ancient sundials which have been found in Croatia and neighbouring Bosnia and Hercegovina to date, are also mentioned. The analysis of the two sundials from Narona includes their description, the interpretation of the preserved text, as well as their place and how they were used. |
