The new findings from Antikythera mechanism front plate astronomical dial and its reconstruction

The present study aims to investigate the astronomical calendar-dial display of the Antikythera Mechanism Front Plate. The design, position and role of the Zodiac ring, are investigated and discussed. Special photographs taken from the ancient prototype, give us new information about the design and...
