The Horologion (Horologeion) of Andronikos Kyrrhestes or Tower of the Winds is anm octagonal structure built of Pentelic marble in the Roman Agora of Athens. It functioned as a sundial, water clock, and wind observer. Varro:  Inside, under the dome of the rotunda, the morning-star by day and the evening-star at night circle around near the lower part of the hemisphere, and move in such a manner as to show what the hour is. In the middle of the same hemisphere, running around the axis, is a compass of the eight winds, as in the horologium at Athens, which was built by the Cyrrestrian;  and there a pointer, projecting from the axis, runs about the compass in such a way that it touches the wind which is blowing, so that you can tell on the inside which it is 1.
