Greek & Latin Inscriptions
The Wilcox Collection houses a modest collection of Greek and Latin funerary inscriptions; these include pure Latin and pure Greek and two inscriptions that mix the languages.
Featured item:
Nike (Victory) of Samothrace (reduced size)
Modern plaster replica (given to the Wilcox by the KU Department of French and Italian) at a about 1/2 scale of a Greek original of ca. 190 BCE (original is just over 8 ft tall). According to the small metal oval in the back, the cast was purchased from the Caproni Bros. cast company of Boston probably in 1885.
