Fortuna

The Roman god of chance or fortune. Fortuna was the Roman equivalent of Tyche, the Greek goddess of fortune. Fortuna was depicted standing on a ball, indicating the uncertainty of chance, fortune or fate.

Fortuna was originally a fertility goddess known as Fors Fortuna, and was also depicted carrying a cornucopia symbolising abundance or plenty. She had a temple in Rome called Fortuna Redux, built by Emperor Domitian, to celebrate the victories over the Germans. Her festival was held on June 24.
