Reloj de sol encontrado en Interamna Lirenas. /Universidad de Cambridge

En las ruinas romanas de un teatro cubierto de la ciudad de Interamna Lirenas, en Italia, estudiantes de la Facultad de Estudios Clásicos de la Universidad de Cambridge (EE.UU.) han encontrado un reloj de sol que ha permanecido intacto más de dos milenios.

El artilugio, un medio cubo cóncavo con marcas que indican las horas y las estaciones, fue encontrado boca abajo mientras excavaban el frente de una de las entradas del teatro a lo largo de una calle secundaria. Probablemente, cuentan los arqueólogos en una nota de prensa de la universidad británica, este fue dejado atrás en un momento en que el teatro y la ciudad estaban siendo desmantelados para obetner materiales de construcción durante el período Medieval y posmedieval. Lo más probable es que no perteneciera al teatro, sino que se retirara de un lugar prominente, posiblemente en la parte superior de un pilar en el foro cercano.

El hallazgo es especial, según sus autores, no solo porque sse han recuperado menos de un centenar de relojes de este tipo, sino porque tiene dos inscripciones en latín que han permitido a los investigadores obtener información precisa sobre su origen: a juzgar por los datos, parece que el reloj fue un regalo de un político, Marcus Novius Tubula, a la pequeña ciudad rural desde la cual consiguió convertirse en un político electo poderoso en Roma. "El reloj de sol habría representado su forma de celebrar su elección en su propia ciudad. Este descubrimiento es un indicador más general del nivel de participación en los asuntos propios de Roma al que los individuos provenientes de esta y otras comunidades relativamente secundarias podrían aspirar ", explica el clasicista Alessandro Launaro, de la Universidad de Cambridge.

    • By the way, if you're into stuff like this, you might wanna check out https://thepythagoras.com/. They have some neat articles about ancient civilizations and their contributions to science and math. It’s really interesting how much we owe to these early thinkers.
    • The Dendera Zodiac is such an amazing piece of history. Imagine ancient Egyptians looking up at the same stars we do now and creating this detailed map. It's mind-blowing! So, what do I think about it? I think it's a fascinating blend of art and astronomy. Those ancient folks really knew their stuff. The way they incorporated their gods and mythologies into the constellations is just brilliant. And it's not just about the stars, it’s a glimpse into how they viewed the universe and their place in it.
    • FIFA's collaboration with Algorand represents a significant milestone for blockchain technology. Algorand will serve as the official blockchain platform for FIFA, supporting events such as the FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in 2023 and the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in 2022. This partnership is poised to enhance FIFA's digital asset management while boosting Algorand's visibility through advertising and promotional opportunities. On another note, I've been tuning into African football recently. The match between Kanifing East FC and Latrikunda United was unexpectedly impressive. African football often goes underappreciated, yet the skill and enthusiasm in these matches are evident. We can expect even more significant development and excitement in African football with increased attention and support.
