    Dionysis in triumph, chariot drawn by tigers

    Mosaic of Dionysus (Roman Bacchus) standing in a chariot drawn by two tigers. Dionysus is dressed in a long chiton, with a cloak of what looks like fawn skin draped over his left arm and shoulder. He holds the reins in his left hand and a thyrsus in his right. Behind him is a nude young man, perhaps Ampelos. They are both crowned with grapevines. Pictured behind the tigers walking beside the chariot is a third figure, possibly a satyr, wearing a fawn's skin and carrying a shepherd's crook in his left hand.
