Britannia is an allegorical figure for (or personification of) Britain, often shown seated with a lion at her feet, as on the 50 pence coin. She was first invented by the Romans 2,000 years ago and is seen as the goddess of war, and passion. Britannia has been on the back of our fifty pence coins since 1672 but won't be for long thanks to a new government campaign for a new design. So, if you don't want to break the tradition, please sign my petition, in association with THE GUARDIAN to save our Britannia! Go to www.savebritannia.org/woorthington.petition to be a part of the online petition.
