Is there a notable or iconic painting which depicts Brittania? The article's analogy to Marianne seems apt, but I think of only statues of Brittania, and I'm wondering if there's anything like the painting of "Libertie Leading the People" by Delacroix. Petershank 21:05, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

I've added a couple. Fosnez 00:19, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Uncle Sam propaganda poster

I removed the image of Britannia and Uncle Sam holding arms, because A) its not revelent and representative of just Britannia, B) its a piece of political propaganda. - Yorkshirian (talk) 20:26, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Godess

Why isnt there a seperate page on the godess Britannia? --Camaeron (talk) 19:27, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, the godess is linked to this page, which is a bit odd. Wasn't there a Brigantia godess, not a Britannia? ---G.T.N. (talk) 21:12, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

"The island was first invaded by Julius Caesar in 55 BC" is inaccurate as Julius Caesar landed in 55BC but only explored very briefly and in no way could his short stay be called an invasion. Marc —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.95.225.189 (talk) 15:06, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

I have serious doubts about the "goddess" part. It rests entirely on the claim found on a webpage at 24carat.co.uk that Hadrian erected a shrine to Britannia at York. Even if substantiated, this would hardly make here a "Celtic" goddess but rather part of Roman imperial religion. dab (𒁳) 10:21, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
