Tower of the Winds
in
The Tower of the Winds, c. 50 B.C.E., sits on the eastern edge of the Roman Agora, which dates from 100 years later. This eight sided building has a frieze around the eight sides, each side dedicated to a different wind. When built it had a water driven clock powered by a stream from the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. This image was taken with a Hasselblad HD-31 digital camera.
