ABVNDANTIA

Abundantia stands for abundance or plenty. Her attributes are ears of corn (grain) and cornucopiae. She is sometimes shown emptying the cornucopiae. Her Greek name is Euthenia.

The reverse of this coin struck in the name of the emperor Probus shows Abundantia scattering what appear to be coins on the ground as a gift from the emperor to the poor people of Rome.
