„Roman Portable Sundials: Time, Space, Identity.“

Richard Talbert will analyze an intriguing category of neglected source material, porta- ble sundials. These are tiny bronze instru- ments fitted with adjustable parts to allow for the changes of latitude likely to occur in the course of a long journey. Thus, the lec- ture will engage with Romans’ sense of space, time and identity.
