EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the Tower of the Winds in Athens, Greece, a remarkable example of Roman art and architecture. The octagonal pentelic marble clocktower stands proudly on the Roman Agora, believed to have been built by Andronicus of Cyrrhus around 50 BC.
The Tower of the Winds, also known as Horologion, is a testament to ancient engineering and timekeeping. Its intricate design features sundials and a water clock (clepsydra), making it not only a beautiful monument but also a functional timepiece from antiquity.

From its exterior beauty to its historical importance, the Tower of the Winds is truly a sight to behold. This print allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship and ingenuity of our ancestors while reminding us of the enduring legacy they have left behind for future generations to admire.
