English: Replica of a Roman distance measuring car (odometer). Special exhibition "Beyond the Horizon - Space and Knowledge in the Old World cultures" at the Pergamon Museum (22.06 -. 30.09.2012)
Deutsch: Nachbau eines römischen Messwagens (Hodometer) zur Streckenvermessung. Sonderausstellung "Jenseits des Horizonts. Raum und Wissen in den Kulturen der Alten Welt" im Pergamon Museum (22.06. - 30.09.2012). Hodometer wurden für das Messen größerer Entfernungen eingesetzt. Ihre Räder mussten den Durchmesser von vier römischen Fuß (29,5 cm) haben. Schiebt man den Wagen über die Messstrecke, ergeben 400 Umdrehungen genau eine römische Meile (1481 m). Ist diese absolviert, ertönt ein akustisches Signal, indem aus einem mitlaufenden Zahnkranz eine Kugel in einen am Hodometer befestigten Kasten fällt. Am Schluss des Messvorgangs zeigt die Anzahl der im Kasten befindlichen Kugeln die zurückgelegten Meilen an
