&ot Sundial Sightings

15 Jui 2005

Susa

This is a fairly simple dial with a supported gnomon. There are no stylistic features. There are however two zodiac signs visible for cancer and unknown. I do not understand what they are supposed to mean. They can not be related to the declination of the sun.

The dial shows the hour, half hour and quarter hour marks from 7 until 18 o’clock local time. The noon line has been made a bit longer.

The sundial can be found in Italy, in the Province of Piedmont, in the town of Susa. It is on the southern facing facade  of the church on Piazza San Giusto.
