To the Romans she was Abundantia. Her attributes are grain and the cornucopia. She can be seated or standing and is sometimes shown emptying a cornucopia. On Roman coins of Alexandria she often appears to be the spouse of the Nile; yet, in the Egyptian pantheon Euthenia did not exist and the Nile had no consort.
