    Victory on this sestertius of Marcus Aurelius is described as "naked to the waist" - her modesty is preserved thanks to a lot of wear:

    M. Aurelius - Sest. VIC GER Nov 2020 (0).jpg

    Marcus Aurelius Æ Sestertius
    (170-171 A.D.)
    Rome Mint
    M ANTONINVS AVG TR PXXV, laureate head right / IMP VI [COS III] S C, Victory,
    naked to waist, standing front, setting on palm-tree right, shield inscribed VIC GER
    RIC 1001; Cohen 269.
    (22.19 grams / 28 mm)


    To keep things balanced, here's another one from Aurelius - Mars topless. I think he works out.

    Marcus Aurelius As Mars topless Sep 18 (0b).jpg
    Marcus Aurelius Æ As
    (173-174 A.D.)
    Rome Mint
    M ANTONINVS AVG TR P XXVIII, laureate head right / MARTI VICTORI IMP VI COS III, Mars standing right, half draped, shield inscribed SC resting on captive left.
    RIC 1106; Cohen 432.
    (11.53 grams / 25 mm)

    A partner to your VIC GER is this VIC PAR. Likewise, modesty preserved

    Aurora isn't shy about her lovely assets on this Plautius Plancus denarius:

    I wondered if this worn die was re-engraved as a joke:

    The OP Nerva Nike is quite impressive!
