The History of Weathervanes

The history of weathervanes spans many centuries and countries. The earliest recorded weathervane was found on the Tower of the Winds in Athens, built by the astronomer Andronicus in 48 BC. The Ancients believed that winds had divine powers, and weathervanes depicting deities could be found on the villas of wealthy landowners in Greece and pre-Christian Rome.

Weathering and Maintenance
