El mosaico central fue encontrado en las excavaciones de la Casa de Icarios de Oudna y está expuesto en la Sala de Cartago, concretamente en el antiguo patio del palacio que está cubiero. En este impresionante mosaico se puede ver a Dionisio (dios del vino en la mitología griega) entregando una vid a Icario, rey del Ática. De este mosaico han dejado otra réplica similar en la excavaciones de la Casa de Icarios de Oudna. Por otro lado el otro mosaico pavimental que hay en la sala de grandes dimensiones no es tan relevante, ni conocido y representa escenas de la vida rural. El mosaico de Dionisio dando la vid a Icario ocupa justo la parte central de la sala de Cartago romana y además es una de las piezas más relevantes de la sala, la cual está además ocupada por montones de estatuas, estatuillas o bajorelieves romanas de Cartago, aunque también procedentes de las excavaciones de Utica, Oudna, Althiburos , Dougga, etc... Esta sala ocupa el puesto 9º dentro del Museo Nacional del Bardo, el cual se ubica a las afueras de Túnez concretamente en el Barrio del Bardo que dista 4 kilómetros del centro de la capital.
