Notes: |
Fortuna was the Roman personification of fate or fortune, akin to the Greek Tyche – closely associated with the supply of grain from Egypt which was transported by ship - hence the rudder and cornucopia in this case. Allegedly, each Roman emperor slept with a golden statue of her in his quarters so as to have good luck |
