Britannia
(brĭ-tăn'yə, -tăn'ē-ə) 
n. - A female personification of Great Britain or the British Empire.
- also britannia Britannia metal.
[Latin, Britain, from Britannī, the Britons.]
Britannia, the Roman name for the British Isles revived by
Camden (1586), has become the poetic name for Britain. Personified as a seated female figure, she appeared emblematically (modelled by Frances Stewart) on Charles II's 1667 peace of
Breda medal and copper coinage (1672); the ‘union’ shield resting alongside bore the crosses of St George and St Andrew.
