This book brings together for the first time perspectives on the interplay between short-term timekeeping technologies and their social contexts in ancient Egypt, Babylon, Greece, and Rome. Its contributions denaturalize modern-day concepts of clocks, hours, and temporal frameworks; describe some of the timekeeping solutions used in antiquity; and illuminate the diverse factors that affected how individuals and communities structured their time.Contributors are: Alexander Jones, Anja Wolkenhauer, Alexandra von Lieven, Stephan Heilen, James Ker, Barbara Sattler, John Steele, Annette Schomberg"--edited by Kassandra J.
