Quote:Morten: What is important here is that a move away from the Centaur...
No, you are wrong.
It does NOT represent a move away from the centaur. It is UNUSUAL for its time.
You ignored the whole historical pattern of Sagittarius.
Some countries persistently retained the centaur and most of them adapted the centaur after the Beit Alpha mosaics were created.
I'm not kidding when I say you are a cherry picker. This demonstrates it. You didn't look at the whole history, you picked one example, an ATYPICAL example and tried to represent it as something it isn't.
Spain, in particular, preferred the centaur.
