In Pompeji, a newly discovered Dionysos frieze, part of the "Haus des Thiasos," showcases a procession of Dionysos, Mänaden, Satyrn, and animals, symbolizing life and death. The frieze, almost life-sized, depicts figures on pedestals with dynamic movements, blending statue-like poses with vitality. It highlights Dionysos' promise of a joyful life and afterlife, with the Mänaden representing women's wild, untamed side, contrasting with the domesticated Venus. The discovery underscores the renewed excavation efforts, and the house is now open to visitors.
