This medieval illustration shows the Roman god Saturn in the traditional guise of an old man. The Zodiacal signs under his influence, Aquarius and Capricorn, are depicted on his left and right, respectively. He holds the sickle with which his Greek counterpart, Cronus, castrated his father. Saturn was the god of agriculture, justice and strength.
