A sundial is a device that tells the time of day when there is sunlight by the apparent position of the Sun in the sky. In the narrowest sense of the word, it consists of a flat plate (the dial) and a gnomon, which casts a shadow onto the dial. The mathematician and astronomer Theodosius of Bithynia ( c. 160 BC to c. 100 BC) is said to have invented a universal sundial that could be used anywhere on Earth. The Romans adopted the Greek sundials, and the first record of a sundial in Rome is 293 BC according to Pliny. Size:- 10 x 11 x 3 (Wooden Box) Size:- 8 x 8 x 3 (Sundial Compass)
