Dionysus in Procession

View of the lower left panel that depicts the god of wine, Dionysus, riding on a cart (destroyed). In the center of the image is one of the two centaurs (half human, half horse)—the lower (horse) portion of which is well-preserved.

On the far left the tutor of Dionysus, Tropheus (name partially preserved above his name) is riding on a mule. To the right of the destroyed “Dionysus” are a lyre player and a nude figure.
