Florence Meridian

Hexadecimal clockface showing Florence time

The Meridian 11°15 East was proposed as prime meridian by Arno Peters in the Peters World Map. The Meridian is the antipode of 168°45' West of Greenwich which runs through the Bering Strait and was proposed as a new date line. On Peters World Map the easternmost part of Asia and Russia is not displayed left of Alaska, as it is usually done on Euro-centric maps, but on the right side as the rest of Russia and Asia.

The meridian, 11° 15' East of Greenwich traverses the city center of Florence in Italy and therefore is also known as Florence Meridian.
