There are many post-classical depictions of liberty as a person which often retain some of the iconography of the Roman goddess. The Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World) in New York derives from the ancient goddess Libertas. Libertas, along with other Roman goddesses, has served as the inspiration for many modern-day personifications, including the Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island in the United States. According to the National Park Service, the Statue's Roman robe is the main feature that invokes Libertas and the symbol of Liberty from which the statue derives its name.[9] As "Liberty", Libertas was depicted on the obverse (heads side) of most coinage in the U.S. into the twentieth century – and the image is still used for the American Gold Eagle gold bullion coin. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-116.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-116.txt
