Fortuna Belli, goddess of fortune in war is blindfolded, representing the capriciousness of the battlefield. She carries a spear in her right hand and wears a Centurions helmet, indicating her martial aspect. Her Cornucopia, traditionally full of food, bulges with musket balls to feed the soldiers hungry weapons.
She is also a goddess of fate. Her smile in battle brings continuing life and luck to those who see it; her frown brings deaths veil.
At a distance, Victoria follows the choices of Fortuna Belli, before offering her blessings to the successful.
