Known for his distraction with quotidian perspectives on Rome, Alma-Tadema renders these scenes with photograph reasonable accuracy and care for the esthetic. The Women of Amphissa is no exemption. Through his archaizing sees, Alma-Tadema gives Victorian culture a look into the old-style world, permitting them to relate to its occupants and envision its marvel. Amphissa was the capital of a yearly celebration to pay tribute to the god Bacchus. In 350 B.C., the domain was overwhelmed by the military from Phocis, blending dread that the bacchantes would get defenseless after their celebrating to assault by the aggressors. The women of Amphissa, therefore, stepped in to secure the dozing bacchantes for the duration of the night, guarding them against being violated by the rival.
