Description

This image represents what Ovid describes as the Golden and Silver ages. The Golden and Silver ages were times of relative peace and stability. There were no threats of war or violence and people lived their lives free of worry. The four seasons were created during this time and the earth was able to be cultivated to provide an abundance of food and security. The image depicts a variety of animals laying down as they relax. There is a naked man and woman in the foreground of the image sitting together. The background of the image shows people working with cattle in front of their houses.
