Fortuna


Fortuna ( Tyche among the Greeks ) is "Chance deified and personified in a feminine deity. She was represented with the horn of plenty with a helm, because she is the one that 'steers' man's life, sometimes sitting, sometimes standing, almost always blind".
(Pierre Grimal)

Pequena estátua da Fortuna, do séc.1 d.C. encontrada em Torres Novas, Santarém.

Pode ser vista na exposição das Religiões da Lusitânia , nos Jerónimos.
