InRoman mythology,Securitas was the goddess of security and stability, especially the security of theRoman Empire.[1][2] On coinage Securitas was usually depicted leaning on a column.[3] She first appears on a coin in 62 AD and then becomes a usual coin motif in the following centuries.[4]
On Sardinia during the Roman imperial period, a Latin inscription described the tomb of Titus Vinius as a shrine of Securitas.[5]
