the overthrown or defeat of an enemy in war or combat.

pagan worship, is represented by Hesiod as the daughter of Styx and Pallas; and Varro calls her the daughter of Heaven and Earth. The Romans erected a temple to her, where they prayed to the gods to give suc- cess to their arms. They painted her in the form of a wo- man, clad in cloth of gold. In some medals, she is repre- sented with wings flying through the air, holding a laurel crown in one hand and a palm in the other; but in other medals, she is seen standing upon a globe, with the same crown and branch of palm.
