Roman fresco fragment with seated Venus, restored (in the 17th century) as a personification of Rome (Roma), called the "Dea Barberini" (Barberini Goddess) since it was acquired from the collection of the Palazzo Barberini. Venus was popular in Rome as the mother of Aeneas. The seated female figure has a scepter or spear in her right hand and statuette of a Nike (Winged Victory) in her left hand. If Venus, this would make her Venus Victrix enthroned. It was found in the Baptistry of the Basilica of St. John Lateran in 1655. Dates to the first quarter of the fourth century CE (reign of Constantine). (Source: Area Archeology of Rome [website]; http://archeoroma.be niculturali.it/en/)
