Solarium Augusti
The Solarium Augusti (also called Horologium Augusti) was an ancient Roman monument in the Campus Martius constructed during the reign of Augustus. It functioned as a giant solar marker, according to various interpretations serving either as a simple meridian line〔Peter Heslin, "Augustus, Domitian and the So-Called Horologium Augusti", ''The Journal of Roman Studies'', 97 (2007: 1-20).〕 or as a sundial.〔Edmund Buchner (1976). "Solarium Augusti und Ara Pacis", ''Römische Mitteilungen'' 83: 319-375; ''Die Sonnenuhr des Augustus: Kaiser Augustus und die verlorene Republik'' (Berlin) 1988.〕
==History==
It was erected by the emperor Augustus, with the 30-meter Egyptian red granite Obelisk of Montecitorio, that he had brought from Heliopolis in ancient Egypt. The obelisk was employed as a gnomon that cast its shadow on a marble pavement inlaid with a gilded bronze network of lines, by which it was possible to read the time of day according to the season of the year. The ''solarium'' was dedicated to the Sun in 10 BCE, shortly after Julius Caesar's calendar reform. It was the first solar dedication in Rome.〔Robert E. A. Palmer, "Studies of the Northern Campus Martius in Ancient Rome" ''Transactions of the American Philosophical Society'' New Series 80.2 (1990:1-64) p. 21, commenting on the ''Acta'' of the Secular Games.〕
