The division of the day into hours can be traced back to ancient civilizations, notably the Egyptians, who created a 12-hour system for daytime and nighttime around 1500 BCE. However, the standardized 24-hour day we use today was popularized by the ancient Greeks and later adopted by the Romans. The introduction of mechanical clocks in the 14th century further solidified this timekeeping system in Europe.

Who was the Roman Emperor in time of spartacus?
I believe there was no emperor at the time of Spartacus, as Caesar was the "king." Caesar wasn't actually the king, yet. He was just ruling and decided to become king, until he was unfortunately stabbed twenty three times in the Senate, the day before he left for a five-year war.There is a link that explains things, if I am incorrect:http://www.fsmitha.com/h1/ch18.htm
