Summary
| Description | One of the most spectacular finds from the excavations of the Library of Hadrian is undoubtedly the over life-size statue (over 3 m high) of a Nike (Victory) treading on a globe. It was found in 1988 built in the foundations of the Ottoman cistern that is located near the south wing of the Library. It´s possible that this Victory of Nike was set up to commemorate Augustus victory against the Parthians (17-16 BC). The statue is made of one single block of white marble, it´s over 3m. |
