Dionysian sarcophagus, marble, with high relief of Triumph of Bacchus over India, commemorating a parade honouring a victorious army commander, in Lugdunum Museum, an archaeology museum housing Celtic, Roman and pre-Roman artefacts, designed by Bernard Zehrfuss and opened 1975, on the Roman site of Lugdunum in Lyon, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France. The scene depicts Bacchus and Ariadne on a chariot drawn by panthers driven by Pan, with prisoners, an elephant, Hercules, a satyr and other animals. The Roman city of Lugdunum was founded in 43 BC by Lucius Munatius Plancus on an existing Gallic site, now part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
