VI.9.5, Pompeii. April 2019. Mosaic of lion and cupids between Dionysus and maenads.
Found in April 1829 in triclinium 27. 
Now in Naples Archaeological Museum. Inventory number 10019. Photo courtesy of Rick Bauer.
Kuivalainen comments: the references to wine, the drinking vessel in the hand of the maenad, the amphora uppermost on the scene, and finally the statue pouring wine from a jug, all point to the cult of Bacchus in his presence.
