Can you Solve this 2,000 year old Riddle?

The Roman (Or Greek) Computer still baffles us today. We understand it more now than ever, but can't seem to answer the question properly... What was it for? In this video we take a brief look at its history and why it still impresses us today.

IMPORTANT: Dr Tony Freeth is played by an Actor. Dr Freeth has no association with this video and none is intended. This video was simple inspired by his work. A full interview with him is below in the soruces.

Usual notices:
1. We are not historians or Academics. We enjoy researching and learning, and with that we enjoy sharing our journeys with you. That said, sources for information often listed below with credits.
2. Corrections. Whilst we make every attempt to not include any errors, research, and piecing stories together from dozens of sources sometimes leads to one or two. I will note here if any are found:

Errors and Notes:
1. Roman... Greek.... yep.
