Tellus (mytologi)
Aion, gud for beslutningen og bevægelsens pil, og Tellus omgivet af fire børn.
For alternative betydninger, se Tellus. (Se også artikler, som begynder med Tellus)
For alternative betydninger, se Tellus Mater (af nogle dog kaldt for Tellas eller Terra Mater) var gudinde for jorden i romersk mytologi. Navnets sproglige oprindelse er uklar; måske talam som er sanskrit for "(jord)overflade".[1]
Gudinden har givet Jorden dens videnskabelige navne, Tellus eller Terra. Ifølge en konvention fra IAU bør Terra dog kun benyttes om store landmasser og ikke for planeten Jorden.[2]

Aion mosaic Glyptothek Munich W504.jpg
Central part of a large floor mosaic, from a Roman villa in Sentinum (now known as Sassoferrato, in Marche, Italy), ca. 200–250 C.E. Aion, the god of eternity, is standing inside a celestial sphere decorated with zodiac signs. Sitting in front of him is the mother-earth goddess, Tellus (the Roman counterpart of Gaia) with her four children, who possibly represent the four seasons.
