摘要
In this paper, devices for measuring distances and time intervals are presented as conceived and used during Roman Empire since they represent the most important means of practices and developments both for scientist and engineers. The constructions and operations of main devices are discussed by using modern reconstructions and interpretations with the aim to sow the expertise in mechanism design at the time of the Roman Empire.
