Tyche

Tyche, 2nd century, marble, Musee du Cinquantenaire (Brussels, Belgium). Crafted with precision using Memento Beta technology. This sculpture embodies an idealized woman, a representation of Tyche or Fortuna in Latin, goddess of destiny, misfortune, luck, wealth, power, and success. In the southern regions of the Roman Empire, Tyche served as protector of cities, her influence extending to the inhabitants and empires alike. The crown atop this diadem signifies a specific city's allegiance to the goddess. Adorned in a chiton, a long tunic, and himation, a flowing cloak, she exudes elegance. In one hand, Tyche grasps a cornucopia overflowing with fruits, while her other hand holds a rudder positioned atop a globe, symbolizing her control over destiny within the vast universe.
