Statue of Nike in the Agora of Cyrene

Nike, also known as Victoria in Roman mythology, is the Greek goddess and personification of victory. She's often depicted with wings and a laurel wreath and can be found on many old Greek coins.

In some works, she's described as the daughter of Ares while in others, she's the daughter of the titan Pallas and the goddess Styx.

During the 1st century BCE, a statue of Nike was located in the Agora of Cyrene in Cyrenaica.[1]
