Abundantia
This article is about the Roman goddess. For the Christian saint, see Saint Abundantia.Abundantia (ah-boon-DAN-shee-ah) The Roman goddess of good fortune, abundance and prosperity.Within Roman Mythology, the figure of Abundantia (also known as  Annona) was considered to be only a minor deity: the personification of luck, abundance and prosperity, and was also the guardian of the cornucopia - the horn of plenty. It was with this that she distributed food and money. The main version of the origin of the cornucopia is similar in both the Greek and the Roman mythology, in which the king of the gods, having accidentally broken the horn of the mystical goat in play, promised that the horn would never run empty the fruits of her desire. The horn was then later to be passed into the keeping of Abundantia.
