A breathtaking fresco has been uncovered in Pompeii, covering three walls of a grand banquet hall. Depicting the secretive rites of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine and ecstasy, this vivid artwork features frenzied maenads, satyrs, and ritualistic scenes of transformation and rebirth.

But was this more than just decoration? Could the House of Thiasus have been a place where forbidden Dionysian ceremonies were still practiced?

Join me as I dive into the mystery of this rare discovery, explore the history of the Bacchanalia, and uncover how the Roman Senate once launched a brutal crackdown on the cult of Dionysus.
