I wonder...since it was found on the remains of a Roman shipwreck...was this device merely plunder?
An interesting thing-a-mabob that the Romans simply grabbed along with other loot from the Greeks?

Thanks ConservativeMind. Not a ping, because this is not the first one today (well, yesterday, since it's after midnight). Those interested in both the recent and older (back to 2003 at least) topics about this fascinating piece of ancient engineering can click on the "antikythera" keyword.
To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. Thanks. Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on or off the
"Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list or GGG weekly digest
-- Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.
