"Allegory of Victory" is a small bronze medal, measuring only 4.29 cm in diameter, created by the Italian Renaissance artist Antico (1460-1528). The medal depicts a scene of victory, likely a reference to a specific military triumph or political event. The central figure, a woman holding a spear, likely represents Victory, while the other figures may represent conquered enemies or vanquished forces. The intricate detail of the medal's design highlights the skill of Antico, who was known for his masterful depictions of classical themes. The small size of the medal suggests it was likely intended as a personal memento or a gift, rather than a public display.
