Abundantia

Abundantia

In ancient Roman religion, Abundantia, also called Copia, was a divine personification of abundance and prosperity; abundantia means "abundance" in Latin. She helped protect savings and investments, and assisted with major purchases. She was among the embodiments of virtues in religious propaganda that cast the emperor as the ensurer of "Golden Age" conditions. Abundantia thus figures in art, cult, and literature, but has little mythology as such. She may have survived in some form in Roman Gaul and medieval France. Abundantia is depicted carrying a cornucopia filled with grain and coins, and was said to occasionally leave gifts from the horn at houses.
