  Britannia Information
Britannia remained the Latin name for Great Britain, but after the fall of the Roman Empire it had lost most symbolic meaning until the rise of British influence and later, the British Empire, which at its height, ruled a quarter of the world's population and a quarter of the world's landmass.
In the Renaissance tradition, Britannia came to be viewed as the personification of Britain, in imagery that was developed during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.
Britannia first appeared on the farthing in 1672, followed by the halfpenny later the same year; the model used, then and later, was Charles II's mistress, the Duchess of Richmond.

This section describes Britannia as the Romans knew it, utilizing the British sections from the main classical geographies, also the works of Caesar, Livy, Pliny, and many more of the most learned men of the Roman era.
