Title: en Jordan. Qasr Amra, general view of the dome of the second "caldarium" with a representation of the heavens and the Zodiac
Description: en This zodiac fresco above the caldarium of the baths is thought to be the first (or earliest surviving) depiction painted on a domed surface. It is centered on the north pole, and the order of the stars is reversed, which suggests that the painter was copying from an image on a flat surface
