EDITORS COMMENTS
In this Roman mosaic, we find Anaximander of Miletus (610-546 BC), a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher, deeply engrossed in the study of a sundial. Anaximander was a significant figure in ancient Greek civilization, belonging to the Milesian school and a student of the renowned philosopher Thales. Anaximander is renowned for his groundbreaking contributions to cosmology and astronomy. He is believed to be the first philosopher to propose a systematic and theoretical cosmology, which was a departure from the mythological explanations prevalent during his time. Anaximander posited that the universe was not created but rather everlasting, with the primal matter, which he called the "Apeiron," being eternal and infinite. The sundial in Anaximander's hands is a testament to his interests in astronomy and the measurement of time. Sundials were an essential tool for ancient civilizations to track the sun's position and the passage of time. The circular design of the sundial, with its circumscribed circle and the edging marked with the circumference, is a symbol of the systematic and precise thinking that characterized Anaximander's philosophical approach. This exquisite mosaic, dating back to the 3rd century AD, is now housed in the Landessmuseum in Trier, Germany. The intricate tesserae, or small pieces of glass, used to create the image, showcase the remarkable artistic skills of the Roman artisans who crafted it. This portrait of Anaximander with a sundial offers a glimpse into the rich history of ancient Greece and Rome, where philosophy, art, and science intersected in a fascinating way.
