This peculiar polychrome mosaic theme is related to the year’s seasons:  at the central octagon it is shown the apotheosis of the god Annus ("Year”), Romans’ personification of the yearly cycle, sitting on a throne between two winged Victories, surrounded by allegories of the four seasons, as baskets full of fruits from each season and cupids or love gods with the corresponding attributes as well as animals and birds typical of each season: one wild boar and some ducks (winter), a bull, a dove and a swallow (spring), a lion, a partridge and a bee-eater (summer)...
Each season groups are separated by a blowing figure, a possible allegory to the winds.  
Two borders make a box for the central composition: the first border has vegetable rolls, lilies, swans, masks and felines heads (one of god Bacchus symbols); the second has geometrical motifs. 

The Mosaic about “The Ocean” was found during the excavations at the Plaza de España.

It dates back to ca. the IIIrd century AD.
It comes from the former Convent of la Merced (Ecija)

It dates back to ca. the IIIrd century AD.
It comes from the number 22 of the Miguel de Cervantes Street (Ecija)
At this large-sized mosaic, god Bacchus is represented riding on a tiger-drawn chariot with a triumphal following.

This extraordinary mosaic shows an optical illusion: if you look at it from one side, you will see an old, bald and bearded man; if you look at it from the other side, you will see a boy.
They are both characters related to Bacchus’ following (the old man is a silenus and the boy could be the same god, both of them wearing bacchic attributes such as the shepherd’s crook or the tympanon or bacchic tambourine).
This mosaic is preserved in situ as a part of the future Place of Arms “Archaeological Park”, that will allow the public to visit an interesting sequence of vestiges starting from the primitive Iberian-Turdetano settlement of Astigi, the Roman period, up to the medieval Alcazar or Fortress.
