Description
English: Depiction of an ancient Roman 24-wind compass rose, following Vitruvius (De architectura, c.15 BC). Eight principal winds (N, NE, E, etc.) are in black, sixteen non-principal winds are in red. For simplicity, this depiction assumes that winds are at 15-degree angles on a compass rose (although that is not implied in Vitruvius's text).
