<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 7800575, member: 24754&quot;]I have a few coins with victory reverses. Couldn&#039;t help noticing that Victoria looked a lot like what modern Westerners would call angels. I was curious about whether this representation transitioned into angels once the Judeo-Christian religions got a real footing in the Empire, or if the similarities are just coincidence.</p><p><br /></p><p>The sources that I could find with a quick search stated that the usage of Victoria in art transitioned to angels once Christianity took hold, like the OP said. However, they did not say anything about whether one iconography was actually derived from the other. Any of you have anymore insight on the subject?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
