Earliest non-divinity holding Victoria?

[clem.fandango]

Hey everyone,

I wonder if you could offer me some advice: what is the earliest example of a non-god or non-divinity holding Victoria, in the form of a victoriola? I know, for example, of this one:

but I wondered if anyone knew of it appearing earlier?

Apologies if this is a somewhat naive question...

With thanks!

Here is a stunning coin from Potator II's gallery, showing Nero holding Victory:

not Roman, but there is a Greek coin from Taras which depicts Phalanthos holding Nike and dated to about 350 years before Nero. if you're interested i'll post a picture of it when i get home from work.

Many thanks to both of you for this! Very interesting, and it clearly can be found further back than I'd imagined.
