The goddess Fortuna, identified by her characteristic attributes: a ship's rudder in her right hand and cornucopia in her left, is standing robed, but she wears the Egyptian crown with horns and feathers, associated with goddess Isis. Fortuna was an important goddess in Roman religion because she was considered to be the provider of material blessing and the arbiter of human destiny.
