Mosaic of the Seasons with Cornucopias

This Roman floor mosaic (4th–5th cc. AD) from Le Capannelle on the Via Appia depicts the Four Seasons personified, each framed by cornucopias and birds. It symbolizes the eternal cycle of nature, fertility, and abundance, central to Roman cosmology and villa life. The Seasons, shown with symbolic attributes, reflect Romans’ reverence for nature and its impact on agriculture and daily life.
