Annia Cupressenia Herennia Etruscilla was
Augusta (Sept. 249 – Jun. 251) of the
Roman Empire, wife of
Emperor
Decius, and mother of Emperors
Herennius Etruscus and
Hostilian.

As with most third century Roman empresses, very little is known about her. 
Probably of senatorial family, she became regent on her son Hostilian, when 
Decius and Herennius were defeated and killed in the
Battle of Abrittus to sink into obscurity after 
her husband and sons perished. It is assumed that her ancestors settled in
Etrurian lands. Herennia married Decius 
probably before 230 and gained the title
Augusta. Her sons were
Herennius Etruscus and
Hostilian.

In
Greek mythology,
Nike was a
goddess who personified
victory, also known as the Winged Goddess of 
Victory. The Roman equivalent was
Victoria. Depending upon the time of various 
myths, she was described as the daughter of
Pallas (Titan) and
Styx (Water) and the sister of
Kratos (Strength),
Bia (Force), and
Zelus (Zeal). Nike and her siblings were close 
companions of 
Zeus, the dominant deity of the
Greek pantheon. According to classical (later) 
myth, Styx brought them to Zeus when
the 
god was assembling allies for the
Titan War against the older deities. Nike 
assumed the role of the divine
charioteer, a role in which she often is 
portrayed in Classical Greek art. Nike flew around battlefields rewarding the 
victors with glory and fame.

Nike is seen with wings in most statues and paintings. Most other winged 
deities in the Greek pantheon had shed their wings by Classical times. Nike is 
the goddess of strength, speed, and victory. Nike was a very close acquaintance 
of 
Athena, and is thought to have stood in 
Athena’s outstretched hand in the statue of Athena located in the Parthenon. 
Nike is one of the most commonly portrayed figures on Greek coins.

Names stemming from Nike include amongst others:
Nicholas, Nicola, Nick, Nikolai, Nils, Klaas, 
Nicole, Ike, Niki, Nikita, Nika, Niketas, and Nico.
