Bacchus-Dionysus Medallion plaque

Dionysus (or Dionysos; also known as
Bacchus in both Greek and Roman
mythology and associated with the
Italic Liber), the Thracian god of wine,
represents not only the intoxicating
power of wine, but also its social and
beneficent influences. He is viewed as
the promoter of civilization, a lawgiver,
and lover of peace — as well as the
patron deity of both agriculture and the
theater. Greeks borrowed Dionysus. He
is the son of Zeus and Semele.
