Where on the horizon?

Sunrise and sunset compass bearings for Rome — face these degrees, not “due east” or “due west.”

N E S W
Sunrise Sunset
Sunrise azimuth 110° ESE Face ESE at dawn
Sunset azimuth 250° WSW Face WSW at dusk

Azimuth is degrees clockwise from true north (0°). Today the disk clears the horizon at 110° ESE and drops at 250° WSW. Use that heading to pick a rail, pier, or hill that actually sees the Sun — then jump to where to stand.
