Felicitas
The Roman goddess of good luck and happiness, whose name is close to the Latin word for lucky.
Felicitas was the Roman personification of good fortune, success and happiness. She was honoured as a goddess in ancient Rome and was often shown holding a caduceus and a cornucopia, the horn of plenty.
Her name comes from the Latin word felix, meaning lucky or happy, which is also where names like Felix and Felicity come from. Roman religion is not practised in the same way today, so she is remembered mainly through old writing, coins and statues. Fortuna, the goddess of chance and her wheel, was a separate Roman goddess; the story makes her Felicitas's sister.
