Mosaic Triumph of BacchusThis mosaic, from the "House of Virgil," in Sousse, Tunisia depicts the majestic procession of the triumphant god, who is standing, his head wreathed in vine-leaves, holding a long thyrsus (lance) in one hand and the reins of his chariot in the other. Alongside him stands a Victory.
