The Townley Vase. Roman, 2nd CE.
Found at a villa at Monte Cagnolo, near Rome. Shows a Bacchic scene, featuring the rustic deity Pan, and Bacchus' wild followers, both male (satyrs) and female (maenads). It was once believed that the vase was one of the main inspirations for the Romantic poet John Keats (1795-1821) when he wrote the famous 'Ode on a Grecian Urn' (1819), though it is now generally accepted that there were many different influences, not only the vase.
Marble, h. 93 cm. GR 1805,0703.218.
