| Salus |
Salus was a Roman goddess who may originally have been a fertility and agricultural goddess but who was known as a personification of health and preservation. Salus is associated with the Greek goddess Hygeia. She was called Salus Publica Populi Romani and was often shown on coins feeding a snake. Early coins show Hygeia with ears of ceral crops.From Lesley Adkins and Roy A. Adkins' Dictionary of Roman Religion
