	Britannia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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 the height of its power ruled a quarter of the world's people and a third 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.

		Britannia is the national emblem and poetic name of Britain (arguably the oldest surviving national emblem in Europe), and an article about Britannia is relevant to English speakers because her name has been used in practically every form of figurative language to allude to Britain and the British Isles.
		This image of Britannia was relatively stable until the Victorian era; and during this era images of a confident, majestic, sometimes defiant Britannia abounded.
		Britannia’s pose in the 2nd century Roman coin is captured almost exactly on the current five-pound note (the series E, or “green” series, notes).

		For Stuart mythographers such as Francis Bacon, as in the Renaissance emblem book tradition, Minerva, and by implication her "spear-shaking," were associated with doctrines of political circumspection-of the political theatre indulged in by monarchs to retain the loyalty of the populace.
		Here, as in emblem #66, the most obvious reading is that the ".i." represents an abbreviation for "id est."16 It could be argued, furthermore, that here-unlike emblem #66-the abbreviation is required in order to set the entire passage in a single line of type.
		Emblem #180 (figure 9)in Peacham's book depicts a cipher wheel-a state -of-the-art encoding device, much like a modern combination lock, which was used for the encoding of diplomatic secrets during the 16th century and which was for all practical purposes, at that time, an unbreakable method of enciphering secrets.

		Britannia, kneeling on the shore, desires Elizabeth to seize her opportunity with a "fully-equipped expeditionary force," as her scroll states.
		It is Elizabeth, not Britannia, who will make possible the safety of the country, and even more important, in the perhaps unconscious echo of the communion prayer of consecration, it is Elizabeth who will allow the development of new mercantile endeavours.
