Helvetia
Helvetia is the female national personification of Switzerland. She is typically pictured in a flowing gown, with a spear and a shield emblazoned with the Swiss flag. She often has braided hair and wears a wreath as a symbol of confederation. The name Helvetia is derived from the ethnonym Helvetii, the name of the Gaulish tribe that inhabited the Swiss Plateau before the Roman conquest.
