Robert’s most recent publications include the books Greek and Roman Calendars: Constructions of Time in the Classical World (Duckworth: London 2005), and Time in Antiquity (Routledge: London 2009) which both explore the workings and the significance of the Antikythera Mechanism. The Antikythera Mechanism is the most sophisticated scientific instrument to have survived from antiquity. Discovered over a century ago off the coast of the Greek island of Antikythera, the Antikythera Mechanism continues to puzzle us. It has been subjected to powerful radiation and computer-based technologies to reveal numerous geared plates and Greek inscriptions. A number of real and virtual models have been built. All of these help us to unravel some of the mysteries of this extraordinary and fascinating device. Part of the International Year of Astronomy The sky’s the limit: Astronomy in Antiquity
