TL;DR: Wolkenhauer as mentioned in this paper studied the representation of, and poetic reflection on, time and its order in Roman literature and found that only a few publications on this exist and they are shorter and scattered.
Abstract: When Oswald Spengler called sundials an ‘insignificant tool’ of ancient everyday life in his famous The Decline of the West, he linked this with the observation that they had not influenced ‘classical life-feeling’ in the smallest degree. Was he right? Where little grows, one may suspect barren ground; and if one takes previous publications as a basis, they seem to give credence to Spengler. Plainly, a monograph devoted only to the sense or understanding of time in antiquity is vainly sought. It is to Anja Wolkenhauer’s credit that she has closed a gap in research with her study of the representation of, and poetic reflection on, time and its order in Roman literature. So far, only a few publications on this exist and they are shorter and scattered.
