Description
English: Mosaic: busts of muses and poets, seasons, Dionysian procession. From Gerasha/Jerash (Jordan), natural stones, glass, 3rd century AD. A braided band and fruit garland decorated with masks, alternating busts of poets and muses as well as the seasons in the corners decorated the frame of this floor mosaic, a Dionysian procession with a drunken Heracles in the inner field. It is likely that the villa’s owner was close to the theatre. Mos 73. Like other people I took pictures of single "frames", but I then did - in addition to perspective correction and straightening - combine some into computer merged "panoramic" pictures. These cannot be taken as 100% representations but provide a good impression.
Deutsch: Mosaik: Musen- und Dichterbüsten, Jahreszeiten, dionysische Prozession. Aus Gerasha/Jerash (Jordanien), Natursteine, Glas, 3. Jh. n. Chr.. Ein mit Masken verziertes Flechtband und Fruchtgirlande, wechselnde Dichter- und Musenbüsten sowie die Jahreszeiten in den Ecken schmückten den Rahmen dieses Bodenmosaiks, eine dionysische Prozession mit einem betrunkenen Herakles im Innenfeld. Es ist wahrscheinlich, dass der Besitzer der Villa in der Nähe des Theaters war. Mos 73. Wie andere Leute habe ich einzelne "Frames" fotografiert, aber dann habe ich - zusätzlich zur Perspektivenkorrektur und Begradigung - einige zu computergenerierten "Panorama"-Bildern kombiniert. Diese können nicht als 100%ige Darstellungen gelten, vermitteln aber einen guten Eindruck.
