Summary

Description
  • Italiano: Secondo gli studi più recenti la Vittoria alata detta "di Brescia" è un "pastiche" creato in epoca romana (sotto Vespasiano?) unendo, a un originale ellenistico del sec. III a.C. (Afrodite che si specchia nello scudo di Marte), un paio di ali, in modo da farne una "Vittoria che scrive sullo scudo il nome del vincitore". La statua era stata nascosta sotto il tempio capitolino a Brescia, assieme ad altri oggetti in metallo pregiato, in previsione del rischio d'un saccheggio della città nel IV/V secolo, e lì dimenticata fino al 1826. Oggi è esposta al Museo di Santa Giulia a Brescia. Foto di Giovanni Dall'Orto, 25 giugno 2011.
  • English: The winged Victory called "The Brescia Victory" is a "pastiche" assembled in Roman age sticking a Hellenistic bronze (3rd century BC) showing Aphrodite mirroring herself in Ares' shield to a pair of newly-created wings, in order to trasform it into a Victory writing on the shield the name of the conqueror. The statue had been hidden beneath the Capitoline temple in Brescia, together with other bronze objects, to prevent the consequences of a possible sack of the town in the 4th or 5th century, and unearthed only in 1826. It is now exhibited in the archaeological Santa Giulia Museum, in Brescia, Italy. Picture by Giovanni Dall'Orto, June 25 2011.
