Romans what role did they play in the measurement of time?

Answer 1

The Romans followed the standard sundial method of telling time for the most part. They also had water clocks, but only the wealthy could afford them. In reality, most Romans simply looked up at the sun to see what time it was. Julius Caesar, however, reorganized the calendar for the calculation of dates and years and his calendar, called the Julian calendar, is the basis for our present day calendar.

Answer 2

Water clocks were clocks that weren't invented by the Romans but were highly expanded upon. A water clock was a device that told time by the measured use and flow of a set amount of water.

Answer 3

The Romans measured time using the sundial as well as the water clock (clepsydra).

They also had a really attractive masonry and mosaic public calendar.
