Here are pictures of both Dionysos and Silenus his drunken companion, Dionysos is the Greek version of Bacchus god of revelry. Silenus is also shown falling off his donkey cart in the sarcophagus and was always known for falling off his donkey so drunk. There is also shown in his brow band grapes the fruit of the vine for making wine.
Then here is Silenus as part of the Lauersfort phalerae and also as I have re-created him in my copies of these phalerae centre bottom in a drunken pose.
