Victory holding a globe

Explanation:
Julius Caesar, who claimed to be descended from the goddess, depicted her on many of his coins, generally holding a small figure of Victory; sometimes holding a globe or palm frond (the palm signifying a victory triumph/parade, the globe representing the world).

Aici spune: holding pugio in left hand and Victory on globe in right.

Mai degrabă este deci "Victory on globe"? Victoria pe un glob...

The statue of Zeus at Olympia was made of Ivory and covered with gold leaf. This majestic statue was seated on a high throne of cedar wood which was inlaid with gold, ivory and ebony. The statue of Zeus was so high that the visitors could see and describe the throne more easily than the statue itself. The statue held a smaller statue of Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, in its right hand. In the left hand was a scepter above which an eagle perched. http://www.mapsofworld.com/wonders-of-world/the-statue-of-ze...
