## Image Caption

Comparison between a relief of a drunken [Dionysus](https://www.worldhistory.org/Dionysos/) with a digitally restored version. Dionysus leans on a [satyr](https://www.worldhistory.org/satyr/) while Maenads dance around him. A small [Pan](https://www.worldhistory.org/Pan/) tugs on his robe.

First half of the 2nd Century CE. 80 cm (31.5 in) x 57 cm (22.4 in). Inv. No. 6684. (National Archaeological Museum of Naples)
