From Wikipedia:

The Tower of the Winds on the ancient Roman agora in Athens once bore on its roof a wind vane in the form of a bronze Triton holding a rod in his outstretched hand, rotating as the wind changed direction. Below, the frieze was adorned with the eight wind deities. The eight metre high structure also featured sundials, and a water clock inside dates from around 50 BC. The wind vane evolved from a Triton to a weathercock as the Roman Empire converted to Christianity. Many churches have a weathercock on the tower or spire. The cock refers to the fall of St Peter and to intimate the necessity for watchfulness and humility.

Answer 2

The wind vane was invented to help early settlers know wind directions in America in the 1700's. Wind vanes are used everywhere around the globe now. Wind Vanes were used way before the 1700's, but no one started manufacturing them till the 1700's.
Wind vanes were made to show what direction the wind blew in
Wind vanes show the direction that the wind is coming from. They are located at a height such as on the roof of a house so that they are exposed to the true wind not the wind as it eddies around trees and buildings at ground level. It was important to know where the wing was coming fro to be able to guess what the weather was going to be like (rain often comes from the west for example) in the days before radio and other weather information sources were available.
