Statue of the goddess Tyche of Antioch, Roman
Tyche personified good luck, in this case the fortunes of the city of Antioch in Syria.

She wears a mural crown, representing the walls of the city, and holds a sheaf of grain, representing fertility;

her foot rests on a male figure rising from the waves, representing the river Orontes.
