The third is a satyr carrying a thyrsus and attended by the panther of Dionysus (Bacchus). Roman, about 100 CE. Found in 1776 by Gavin Hamilton in the Villa Quintiliana at Gabii, an ancient city of Latium, located 18 km due east of Rome along the Via Praenestina, (which was in early times known as the Via Gabina).
