IX.3.5 Pompeii. March 2009. Room 14, north wall, with window with view over garden area.
According to Breton, the painting near a large window opening onto the xystus remained in its place.
It represented Bacchus, winner of India, erecting a trophaeon, surrounded by Bacchantes holding the thyrsus, shields and drums.
A captive with chained hands was sitting at the front.
The upper part as well as on the right-hand side have now disappeared, and one cannot see more than Bacchus and one of his followers.

Kuivalainen comments –
“A somewhat effeminate fully robed young Bacchus is depicted with one of his companions, a captive, and Victory with a female assistant. 
The scene is perhaps to be linked to the Indian triumph, to a moment of calmness when the accomplishments of the divinity are being inscribed and he is examining the spoils.”
