Fortuna was the Roman goddess of fortune, chance, fate, and the unpredictable changes that shape human life. Her name comes from the Latin concept of fortuna, meaning fortune or circumstance, and she could bring either prosperity or disaster without warning. The Romans worshipped Fortuna in many different forms, associating her with individuals, cities, families, fertility, political power, and the fate of the Roman state itself. She was often depicted holding a cornucopia, representing abundance, or a rudder, symbolizing her ability to steer the course of human lives. She later became strongly associated with the Wheel of Fortune tarot card.
