our Gianni sent me the following image od a Meridian Line slab he has seen at the Catholic University http://www.unicatt.it/ in Milan (IT) asking if it is part of a sun dial. My reply was no, it only mark a geographical longitude and, as Gianni also observed, it is not said that the slab is in its original position. The main inscription on the slab over the images of the ram and its astronomical symbol said:
Meridian Line - vertical horizon - constructed accurately by the students - a.D. 1756
The inscription on the bottom right H ¦ M - 19 (or 10) 4 is not clear to me.
Interesting in the main inscription the ligature on the third line of the characters H and O at the beginning of the word HOrizon.
Any comment from your side is welcome.
Salutations
Giancarlo
