Description
An account of the resource
This photograph depicts the Horologion Aerides, or, The Tower of the Winds. Built by the Macedonian scholar, Andronicus of Cyrrhus, in 50 BCE, the structure acted as one of the central timepieces (i.e. a water-clock) for Athens in the first century BCE. It was constructed in the heart of the forum built by the Romans after their conquest and subsequent control of mainland Greece. The tower gets its name from the bas-relief sculptures circling its highest point, which depict the personified deities of the winds.
