LAETITIA

Laetitia represents joy and good grace. Her attributes include a scepter, wreath, a ship's rudder on a globe, and an anchor. Laetitia is often represented on the reverses of Roman coins, especially those struck during the Second and Third Centuries. In another image of Laetitia on the reverse of a billon Antoninianus of Gallienus, the wreath and sceptre are also visible although the coin is quite worn.
