Dionysian – or Bacchic – procession led by a Maenad, Rome (sarcophagus?), c AD 100, British Museum. The retinue is his thiasus (thiasos). Dionysus is the figure on the left. He is attended by a leopard or similar exotic animal and holds a thrysus (thrysos) in his right hand and an animal skin in his left. Photo by Yair Haklai at Ancient Goths.
