Fortuna, in Roman mythology, personification of Luck and Chance, assimilated to the Greek Tyche.
Fortuna is usually depicted holding a rudder in one hand because she rules the destiny of the world, and a cornucopia in the other because she can be a blessing.
Most often, however, she is blind or blindfolded, as this distribution occurs randomly.
She sometimes stands near a wheel symbolizing the random dimension of human destinies.
