The mosaic of seasons – Thelete
This 2nd-3rd century mosaic was unearthed in 1994 during rescue excavations, as it was about to be stolen by traffickers. It is the floor mosaic of a villa terrace on the western skirts of the Zeugma hills.
It consists of nine parts. In the central one a crowned Eros sits side by side with Thelete, daughter of Dionysos. In corner panels seasonal gods are shown. In the lower rectangular panel a kid lies in the grass with a bucket, another panel shows four fish going in and out of a game basket. A rabbit appears in a panel to the right. Much of the mosaic has been damaged.
