 Abundantia

 ABUNDANTIA (“Abundance”), a Roman goddess, the personification of prosperity and good fortune.  Modelled after the Greek Demeter, she is practically identical with Copia, Annona and similar goddesses.  On the coins of the later Roman emperors she is frequently represented holding a cornucopia, from which she shakes her gifts, thereby at the same time in- dicating the liberality of the emperor or empress.  She may be compared with Domina Abundia (Old Fr. Dame Habonde, Notre Dame d’Abondance), whose name often occurs in poems of the Middle Ages, a beneficent fairy, who brought plenty to those whom she visited (Grimm, Teutonic Mythology, tr. 1880, i. 286-287).
