Britannia is the female personification of Britain, embodying the changing ideals and values of our country
throughout her mystical beginning she has often been said to reflect powerful women through the ages, and
in the case of certain British Queens, the events and attitudes of their reigns.
The practice of portraying nations as idealized women in art and culture dates back to the Roman period.
It was first used on the coins of Roman Britain under Emperor Hadrian in the first century AD.
The first coin featuring a Britannia design was struck in Rome around 117 AD and shows her holding a spear,
Armed and vigilant, Britannia is symbolic of defense and control.
