CMLLSummary

Description
Deutsch: Bildfeld eines großen Bodenmosaiks aus einer römischen Villa bei Sentinum (dem heutigen Sassoferrato in den Marken), um 200-250 n. Chr. Der jugendliche Ewigkeitsgott Aion steht im Himmelskreis der Tierkreiszeichen. Zu seinen Füßen die Erdmutter Tellus (die römische Entsprechung der griechischen Gaia) mit vier Kindern, welche die vier Jahreszeiten verkörpern. Der Himmelskreis ist kein Tierkreis, sondern ein Band mit Tierkreiszeichen (beispielsweise fehlt zwischen Widder und Zwillingen der Stier, etc.).
English: Central part of a large floor mosaic, from a Roman villa in Sentinum (now known as Sassoferrato, in Marche, Italy), ca. 200–250 C.E. Aion, the god of eternity, is standing inside a celestial sphere decorated with zodiac signs. Sitting in front of him is the mother-earth goddess, Tellus (the Roman counterpart of Gaia) with her four children, who possibly represent the four seasons.
