It's the #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology!
Yet another potential birthday for #Dionysos is 6 January because the pre-Islamic Arabian god #Dushara is associated with Dionysos:
"In the city of Petra [...] they sing the praises of Kore in the Arab tongue, calling her in Arabic Chaamou, that is, Maiden, and #Kore, and him who is born from her, Dusares."
According to Epiphanius of Salamis this takes place on the night of #Epiphany.

Gold #Roman signet ring with carnelian or garnet intaglio from Petra, Jordan. It is small so it is believed that it belonged to a child, but it could have been worn by an adult person on the pinky finger what we can see on shrouds from #Fayum or sculptures from #Palmyra . The ring was found in the ruins of the Qasr al-Bint, the temple where the Nabataean god Dushara was probably worshiped.
