The Dionysus altar, often found in ancient Greek religious sites, is a structure dedicated to Dionysus, the god of wine, fertility, and festivity. These altars were typically used for offerings and sacrifices to honor the deity, especially during festivals like the Dionysia. They were often adorned with symbols associated with Dionysus, such as grapevines and ivy, reflecting his connection to nature and revelry. The altars served as focal points for rituals, celebrating both the agricultural bounty and the transformative power of wine.

There were several altars to Dionysus throughout Greece. I assume you mean the altar at the Theater of Dionysus in Athens. It was in the center of the Orchestra Circle to begin with and then was moved to the downstage edge of the Orchestra during the Hellenistic Period.
