      medals, in the form of a matron, with the staff of Mercury (<hi rend="ital">caduceus</hi>) and
      a cornucopia. Sometimes also she has other attributes, according to the kind of happiness she
      represents. (Lindner, <hi rend="ital">de Felicitate Dea ex Numis illustrata,</hi> Arnstadt,
      1770; Rasche, <hi rend="ital">Lex Num.</hi> 2.1, p. 956.) The Greeks worshipped the same
      personification, under the name of <foreign xml:lang="grc">Εὐτυχία</foreign>, who is
      frequently represented in works of art. </p><byline>[<ref target="author.L.S">L.S</ref>]</byline></div></div></body></text></TEI>
