The Talmudic period was from around 21 centuries ago until 15 centuries ago. During that time, the Torah-sages edited and collated the teachings of the Mishna (Oral Torah) and the Talmud (commentary) which until then had been transmitted in a form which had not yet been formally finalized. They felt the need to finalize the Oral Torah because persecutions were bringing about the increasing dispersal of the Jewish communities. Possessing an exact text of the Talmud in all of their countries of residence would ensure that Judaism remained unified in observance and belief. At the end of the Talmudic period, this exact wording of the Talmud was put into writing by Rabbi Yosei of Pumbeditha in 505 CE.

In Biblical as well as Talmudic times (and for certain halakhah-purposes today too), the hours were calculated from sunrise to sunset (one-twelfth of that period was one daylight hour) and from sunset to sunrise (one-twelfth of that period was one hour of the night). The position of shadows was an approximate indicator whenever the sun was shining (which in Israel is a lot, even in winter).
