The Statue Napoleon stole...
This statue used to be the Goddess of Peace, Irena. When Napoleon marched into Berlin in 1806, he decided he really liked the statue and therefore added it to his "personal art collection" in the Louvre. Ten years later, the Prussians stole it back and put it on top of the Brandenburg Gate. The decided they could not name it after the Goddess of Peace anymore, so they renamed it after the Goddess Victoria (of victory).
