Abstract
The mosaic in this room depicts the four seasons - Winter, Autumn, Summer, and Spring – in a series of medallions with figurative decorations inside. The geometric polychrome mosaic is framed by a series of perspective cubes with a pattern of secant hexagons and six-pointed stars. Some medallions also contain fish or birds. The comparison between the animal imagery and the seasonal designs could suggest that this room was utilized as a dining room, as well as the abundance of prosperity for the villa’s Dominus. The seasonal images and wealth of earthly goods could also suggest a theme of victory over time, and if combined with the imagery in the next room (29) also suggests a theme of the eternity of love.
