‹ Ancient Sundials
Dialface ID 68
Abstract
There is no trace of a gnomon hole in the top edge. Reconstruction in the area of the bottom of the dial has obliterated any traces of a gnomon there. [...] A square protrusion (for mounting?) 80 mm x 80 mm remains in the center of the bottom surface. [...] Found in Cannstatt in 1843. Dated from the artwork of a bronze figurine found nearby to the second century A.C.
