THE SPRING FESTIVAL OF" LIBERTAS, "THE ROMAN GODDESS OF LIBERTY, WAS CELEBRATED ON THIS DAY. ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR OF THE ROMAN DEITIES, HER NAME IS THE LATIN WORD FOR FREEDOM. SHE IS AN ANCIENT GODDESS WHO PROBABLY GOES BACK TO THE BEGINNING OF THE REPUBLIC. THE DAUGHTER OF "JUPITER" AND "JUNO", SHE WAS DEPICTED AS A ROMAN MATRON ARRAYED IN WHITE, HOLDING IN ONE HAND A BROKEN SCEPTRE, AND IN THE OTHER A PIKE SURMOUNTED BY A PILEUS, OR CAP. BOTH WERE SYMBOLS OF EMANCIPATION; I.E., ROMAN SLAVES WERE RELEASED FROM BONDAGE BY A RITUAL WHICH THEY WERE TOUCHED WITH A WAND AND GIVEN A STOCKING CAP AS A SYMBOL OF THEIR FREEDOM. AT HER FEET LAY A CAT, AN ANIMAL THAT IS AN ENEMY OF ALL RESTRAINT.

THE STATUE OF LIBERTY IS AN IMAGE OF "LIBERTAS."
