Unlike the Greek Nike, the goddess Victoria (Latin for "victory") was a major part of Roman society. Winged figures, very often in pairs, representing victory and referred to as winged victories, were common in Roman official iconography, typically hovering high in a composition, and often filling spaces in spandrels or other gaps in architecture.[7] These represent the spirit of victory rather than the goddess herself.
