Libertas (Latin for liberty and the state of being free) is the Roman goddess and personification of freedom. He became a politicized figure in the late Republic. It appeared on coins supporting the Populares faction and on coins of Julius Caesar's assassins. However, she sometimes appears on coins from the imperial period, such as the "Liberty of the People" coins made by Galba during his brief reign after Nero's death. The Greek equivalent of the goddess Libertas is Eleutheria, the personification of freedom. Libertas was often portrayed by the freed slave. It is associated with the pilos worn.Libertas was given a temple on the Aventine Hill in about 238 BC. (This is not the same as the temple of Jupiter Libertas, which was restored by the emperor Augustus.) However, the construction of the temple was abandoned.
