This elaborate mask belongs to one of three prominent theatrical styles: tragedy, comedy, or satirical drama. The patron deity of theatre, Dionysus is frequently depicted as a simple bearded mask secured to a draped pillar, paying homage to his revered status. As the masked god, he enjoys an extraordinary gift - immortality among the gods. This stunning artefact was unearthed in the majestic Chiragan Roman villa.
