A chronicle of timekeeping
A
Before the invention of artificial light, the moon had greater social impact. And, for those living near
the equator in particular, its waxing and waning was more conspicuous than the passing of the
seasons. Hence, the calendars that were developed at the lower latitudes were influenced more by the
lunar cycle than by the solar year. In more northern climes, however, where seasonal agriculture was
practised, the solar year became more crucial. As the Roman Empire expanded northward, it
organised its activity chart for the most part around the solar year.

In order to track temporal hours during the day, inventors created sundials, which indicate time by
the length or direction of the sun's shadow. The sundial's counterpart, the water clock, was designed
to measure temporal hours at night. One of the first water clocks was a basin with a small hole near
the bottom through which the water dripped out. The falling water level denoted the passing hour as
it dipped below hour lines inscribed on the inner surface. Although these devices performed
satisfactorily around the Mediterranean, they could not always be depended on in the cloudy and
often freezing weather of northern Europe.
