She is depicted under the form of a woman standing between two corn ears, and raing her |hands| towards the heaven. "It seems (says Eckhel) that this type involves a fine allegory, namely that Liberty exhorts the people to devote themselves anew to the pursuits of agriculture, after the extinction of that execrable tyranny with which Nero had desolated the empire -- as if in joyful accents she exclaimed to the Roman husbandmen, with Maro:--
"Pascite ut ante boves, pueri, submittite tauros."
