Item Details

Description

Rome, Ca. 1st-2nd Century CE. Marble figure of the Roman Goddess who is equated with the Greek goddess Tyche, an ancient goddess of the Italic peninsula. Her name means "fortune" and she is associated with both bona (good) and mala (bad) fortune, chance, and luck. This example shows her standing, with her weight on her right leg, wearing a tunic clinging to her body, revealing its form beneath, her mantle draped over her left shoulder, across her waist in a diagonal roll over the left arm, and wrapping around her legs; the bottom portion of a fruit-filled cornucopia in her right hand, her left hand lowered holding up the fold of her tunic; a headless Cupid (symbol of victory) sits upon her left shoulder. Custom museum-quality stand. This statue was likely part of the cult of Fortuna Victrix. Fortuna Victrix was worshipped in order to secure victory in battle. 12"H x 4-1/2"W.
