    This octagonal marble tower in the Roman Agora was a water clock, sundial, and weather vane. The carved wind gods on each face represented the conditions affecting wine transport and grape ripening. Nearby stands the Gate of Athena Archegetis, entrance to the Roman market where wine was bought and sold.
