Extrait du document
(Victory) Roman An ancient goddess
of agriculture.
Victoria had the power to bring military success
to Rome and was a favorite of soldiers. She was the
humanlike representation of the concept of victory.
Victoria was also a favorite of many of the ruling
families in Roman history and was often pictured as a
winged figure holding a wreath with which to crown
the conqueror. She became a prominent symbol of
the growing Roman Empire. Victoria was worshiped
at a temple on the Aventine Hill.
Very late in Roman history, Victoria became associated
with the Greek goddess Nike and was made a
member of the Roman pantheon.
