+0225 Urano y Gea

            Deutsch: Bildfeld eines großes Bodenmosaiks aus einer römischen Villa bei Sentinum (dem heutigen Sassoferrato im Marken), um 200-250 n. Chr. Jugendlicher Ewigkeitsgott Aion im Himmelkreis der Tierzeichen zwischen einem grünen und einem kahlen (winterlichen) Baum. Zu seinen Füßen die Erdmutter Tellus (römische Gaia) mit vier Kindern, welche die vier Jahrezeiten 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, in between a green tree and a bare tree (summer and winter, respectively). 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.
