This Winged Victory sculpture found in Brescia in 1826, was probably produced in the 2nd quarter of 1st Century CE, by a high-level bronze atelier in northern Italy, perhaps as a votive offering for a successful military conflict.

@archaeohistories a relief of a similar character on Trajan's Column leads to the popular conclusion that she originally held a shield and a pen, with a helmet under her foot. https://museum.classics.cam.ac.uk/collections/casts/nike-brescia
