Britannia celtic nation

Yakki dha greetings. Britannia was the roman name for the Celtic Isles, and in the celtic tradition Britannia became incarnate as a female spirit of the nation. She borrows some of her imagery from Brigantia with the spear and tall hat, and even the shield disc almost (though Brigantia seemed to hold a crystal ball). The name is connected to Britanny which is in France and the Bretons who spoke brythonic.
