ANNONA

Annona stands for the corn or grain harvest. Her attributes include ears of corn (grain), cornucopiae, and a ship’s prow. The ship’s prow symbolizes the necessity for having corn imported from North Africa in ships which continuously plied the route between the Egyptian port of Alexandria and Ostia at the mouth of the Tiber.
