This is the Aion Mosaic, dating from the 3rd century AD in Antioch. The photo was taken of the mosaic in situ in the "House of Aion" during the 1930s excavations. Its current status is, strangely, "reburied."
The figure on the left is labeled as AIWN (Eternal Time) and his three male companions are labeled as Past, Present and Future.
