We need to keep [[Britannia]] in mind where it says, "Early portraits of 
the goddess depict Britannia as a beautiful young woman, wearing the 
helmet of a Centurion <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centurion>, and 
wrapped in a white toga with her right breast exposed."

IIRC Britannica had an arrangement of the trident and shield in its 
logos before it adopted a thistle with which to nourish goats.

Who could complain about a goddess with her bare Britannicas ready to 
nourish a nation?
