Many are familiar with Britannia today through her presence on British coinage. However, prior to appearing on the coins of Britain, Britannia was actually featured on Roman coins in the wake of the Empire’s conquest of the British Isles. When Emperor Hadrian visited the conquered region in 122 AD, coins were minted in honor of his arrival. Celebrated by the Romans as the personification of their new land, Britannia can be found on both the Sestertius and Siliqua coins produced for Hadrian’s visit.
