Item Details

Description

Rome, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 2nd century CE. A bronze cast figurine representing Fortuna, the Roman equivalent of the Greek goddess Tyche, holding a cornucopia which signified wealth with its overflowing fruits. She stands proudly, elegantly draped in flowing robes, donning a polos headdress. Statuettes of Fortuna, the goddess of Luck and Chance, were quite popular during Roman Imperial times. Size: 4.375" H (11.1 cm)

Throughout time, humanity has put forth immense efforts toward bringing about good fortune. History has provided many manifestations of this in the form of good luck charms. Even in the modern era, people carry rabbits' feet, blow on dice before tossing them, or wear a "lucky" color shirt to a job interview. The classical era was no different, and the goddess Fortuna/Tyche stood as a symbol of luck and chance for many ancient Greeks and Romans. Initially, she was viewed as a protector of ancient cities and civilizations; however, later Fortuna/Tyche evolved to become a guiding light, a symbol of Lady Luck, for individuals.
