In Ancient Roman mythology, Victoria was the personified goddess of victory, symbolising victory over death and determining who would triumph during war. She was worshiped by triumphant generals returning from war but also played a major part in Roman society with many temples erected in her honour. Her image also frequently appeared on coins, monuments, and rings worn by military officers, statesmen, or those seeking divine favor in their endeavors.

This ring showcases Victoria in full-length profile, her wings outstretched as she holds up a laurel wreath, the ultimate symbol of military and civic success.

The Greek equivalent of the Roman goddess of victory was known as Nike.
