## Image Caption

This small dish or platter (one of a pair) with a Bacchic scene is closely related in style and subject to the Mildenhall Great Dish itself. Both show Maenads (female followers of [Bacchus](https://www.worldhistory.org/Bacchus/)) dancing and playing musical instruments, in one case accompanied by the [god](https://www.worldhistory.org/God/) [Pan](https://www.worldhistory.org/Pan/), and in the other by a young [satyr](https://www.worldhistory.org/satyr/). The name Eutherios, written in [Greek](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/greek/) and in the genitive (possessive) case is scratched deeply on the underside of each dish within the foot-ring. From the UK. 4th century CE. (The British Museum, London)
