VICTORIA (MYTHOLOGY)

Victoria on the reverse of this coin by Constantine II.
In Roman mythology, 'Victoria' was the personification/Goddess of victory. She is the Roman version of the Greek goddess Nike, and was associated with Bellona. She was adapted from the Sabine agricultural goddess Vacuna and had a temple on the Palatine Hill. Her name (in both Latin and Greek) means victory.
Unlike the Greek Nike, Victoria was a major part of Roman society. Multiple temples were erected in her honor, and a vast cult existed for hundreds of years, worshiping her. Appearing on Roman coins, jewelry, architecture, and other arts, Victoria is most often seen with or in a chariot.
