Sorry, but you're wrong, while obviously Selene was the oldest known example there are plenty of others in between, with the Statue of Liberty being based on the roman Libertas i believe... with the Columbia logo looking pretty much like the Columbia from all the american drawings, plus a torch, which can easily be attributed to the Statue of Liberty i'd say that's a pretty good explanation of where the makers got their inspiration.
