In this room, the entire floor is covered with a depiction of Dionysus' victory. It is one of the largest rooms in the house and appears to have been a dining room or ceremonial hall. Dionysus "won" his campaign to India - a plot inspired by Roman imagination. Nearby images of the Dioscuri brothers - Castor and Pollux - recall the myth of Leda and Zeus from the house of Ion. Everything is connected to the world of gods, legends, and mysteries. The peacock is the most beautiful work in this mosaic, and Dionysus is seated on a chariot drawn by panthers.
