Victoria Romana (Hadrian's Library)

The Victoria Romana from Hadrian's Library (Greek: Νίκη της Βιβλιοθήκης του Αδριανού) is a large sculpture of the Greek goddess of victory Nike (known to the Romans as Victoria) that once adorned Hadrian's Library, a large library built in Athens by the Roman Emperor Hadrian (r. 117–138 AD) during the second century AD. It was probably created much earlier, during the first century BC, perhaps to memorate some victory of Emperor Augustus. The larger-than-lifesize marble statue was unearthed in the Library's plot in 1988 and it is missing its head, arms, wings and left leg below the knee.
