Ubertas

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ubertas (from Latin fertility ; also Uberitas) is the Roman goddess of wealth. It supports human creativity and thus brings supplies and riches.

presentation

She was depicted on Roman coins from the imperial era as a standing woman with a cornucopia in one hand and a bulging money bag (other sources see it as a cow's udder because of the imprecise representation ) in the other.
