Athena Demegorusa

[1] The statue was found in 1960 in the I. Nova plot, where the Roman Forum of Nicopolis was located, in a short distance from the conservatory.

[2] Today the statue of Athena Demegorusa is displayed in Room A of the Archaeological Museum of Nicopolis with inventory number 6, in the section dedicated to the Roman era of the city.

Her forehead is smooth with broad cheeks, almond-shaped eyes with a wide upper eyelids, while the goddess's straight eyebrows bend slightly towards her temples.

Athena's mouth is small, with thin lips that are half-opened; the edges of the oral slit indicate use of a drill.
