Dome with Constellations

early 8th century AD
Caldarium, Amra, Jordan

The constellations are painted on the dome in reversed order, as if seen from the outside of a celestial globe. North is in the center, surrounded at a distance by a narrow red band representing the Zodiac. The ever-helpful Blue Guide provides a key:
