Bacchus/Dionysos was... complicated.... Some of his cults were considered uncivilized and, as such, to be restrained, but he was considered a real god, and as such, mortals couldn't oppose him and had to appease him. The Greek and later the Romans domesticated his cult, making it tame and civilized, but never banned it... you couldn't ban worship of any god, that would be suicidal...
