The Romans also used water clocks which they calibrated from a sundial and so they could measure time even when the sun was not shining, at night or on foggy days. Known as a clepsydra, it uses a flow of water to measure time. ... The water clock made it possible to measure time in a simple and reasonably reliable way.
