Roman (Antioch)
Section of a Floor Mosaic Depicting the Four Seasons,
Late second-early third century AD
This mosaic was once a part of a hallway floor in a house near Antioch, in Roman, Syria. The figures of winged boys represent the seasons: Spring (with a basket of flowers), Summer (with a sheaf of wheat), Autumn (with a basket of fruit), and Winter (cloaked, with a tray of fruit). |
