Fortuna
Luck's Roman deity
Fortuna is the Roman goddess of fortune, chance, and luck—both good and bad.
She was typically depicted with a wheel (symbolizing fate's unpredictability) or a cornucopia (representing abundance).
The name survives in English words like fortune and fortunate, and occasionally appears as a given name or in literary references to fate's capriciousness.
