The Seasons in Romano-British Mosaic Pavements
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 November 2011
Abstract
In the course of examining the charioteer mosaic discovered at Rudston (Yorks.) in 1971 it struck me that certain aspects of the iconography had been either misunderstood or over looked in the first publications. In particular the idea that the bust of a Season holding a rake must be identified as Winter seems to rest on a misconception. It is much more likely that the Season in question, both here and in other similar representations, is Autumn.
