Il mosaico trasformato: un pavimento di una villa tardoantica nella Toscana costiera
Bibliographic record
Abstract
During the last field season (Sempetmber 2014), in the archaeological area of Vignale (near Piombino, on the Tuscan coast) a large late antique floor mosaic was discovered. The mosaic was originally unearthed probably around 1860, but it was soon concealed under the floor of a barn that protected it from the hard ploughing in the subsequent decades. The original mosaic dates from the second quarter of the 4th century A.D. It was probably intended to decorate a luxurious reception room in a large Late Antique countryside mansion, erected on a site that was already used since from the 2nd century B.C. This first mosaic was divided into four sections: three of them decorated with geometrical patterns, while the central hosted a young male figure, seated on a celestial globe and holding the ring of the Time. On the four corners of the same panel the images of four Seasons were depicted: so it's quite probable that the central figure could be interpreted as a personification of Time itself (Aion/Annus/Saeculum frugiferum). After an undefined span of time, a large part of this panel was reorganized: at least three of the Season's images were redone, the iconography of the central figure was altered, with a rude insertion of a new head on the old body, and a large part of the background was covered with racemes hosting two couples of birds. Whether these changes were intended just as a restoration of a damage suffered by the mosaic or as a mayor reorganization of the overall iconography is, at the moment, matter of speculation.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
