Historical Background: Britannia, a female allegorical figure, has been synonymous with the British Isles since Roman times. This goddess-like representation has evolved over the centuries, symbolizing Britain’s might and maritime dominance. The 17th and 18th centuries saw Britannia’s image solidify, often portrayed as a formidable woman donning a Corinthian helmet, shield, and trident.
