Roman mosaic of Sol-Helios in his quadriga, a chariot drawn by four horses. He is holding a riding crop in his right hand and the reins in his left. His head is illuminated by a sunray aureola. He is naked except for a large billowing cloak around his shoulders. The background is black as night. Around the circular centre the signs of the zodiac are arranged in their chronological order in the year.
