Statuette of Roma or Virtus in the Getty Villa, July 2008

Statuette of Roma or Virtus in the Getty Villa, July 2008
Statuette of Roma or Virtus
Roman, AD 50-75
bronze

Inventory # 84.AB.671

The identifying attributes of this statuette are missing, but the helmet and the dress baring the right breast were traditionally worn by both Roma and Virtus (personifications of Rome and valor.) As Roma, the figure would have held a miniature winged victory; as Virtus, she would have held a sword.
