Africa (Latin: Africa) was a Roman goddess worshipped in North Africa. Pliny the Elder, in his book ''Natural Story'', wrote that nobody in Africa (North Africa) embarked upon anything without first calling for funding from the goddess. She is normally depicted with a skinned elephant on her head and a horn of fertility in her hands, while sitting in front of a ''modius'' of wheat. The totemic objects that are linked with her are scorpios, bows and arrow quivers. She is portrayed on some coins, carved stones, and mosaics in Roman Africa; some are in the El Djem museum. == References == * Paul Corbier, Marc Griesheimer, ''L’Afrique romaine 146'' av.
