Until late in the last century, noon was exactly when the sun was directly overhead in Saudi Arabia. The airlines put an end to this. I believe that this was the way Romans calculated noon, no matter the season or place. I therefor have a question: Was there a person in the legion whose responsibility was to 'keep time'?
