Britannia was the term originally used by the Romans to refer to the island of Great Britain. The term was later used to describe a Roman province covering much of the island, apart from the area beyond the Antonine Wall belonging to the Picts in the north, which was known as Caledonia. The name itself derives from Pretannia, Diodorus's Greek rendering of the indigenous name Pretani. Britannia was personified as a goddess by the Romans, and in more recent times has become a figure of national personification of the United Kingdom.

- Americlaps are obsessed with British culture to the point that it has become an annoying meme. British flags are part of many clothing designs that hipsters and tumblrtards wear. For some strange reason, everybody in the world has at least an unconscious desire to live in THE GREATEST COUNTRY ON PLANET EARTH (The UK).
- Britannia was an island on Magna Roma on which the city of Londinium was located. At one time, the Magna Romans used Londinium as bait to trap German tribesmen and destroy them in the Battle of Britannia. (TNG novel: The Captains' Honor)
- thumbBritannia war eine römische Provinz, die in zwei Teile geführt wird, nämlich Britannia Prima und Britannia Superior. Vor den Römern wohnten in Britannien Kelten. Gaius Julius Caesar marschierte in Britannien ein und eroberte die halbe Insel. Später führte Kaiser Claudius eine weitere Eroberung. Schließlich baute der Kaiser Hadrian den Hadrianwall zum Schutz vor den Kelten.
- Britannia is an ancient term for Roman Britain and also a female personification of the island. The name is Latin, and derives from the Greek form Prettanike or Brettaniai, which originally designated a collection of islands with individual names, including Albion or Great Britain; however, by the 1st century BC, Britannia came to be used for Great Britain specifically. In AD 43, the Roman Empire began its conquest of the island, establishing a province they called Britannia, which came to encompass the parts of the island south of Caledonia (roughly Scotland). The native Celtic inhabitants of the province are known as the Britons. In the 2nd century, Roman Britannia came to be personified as a goddess, armed with a trident and shield and wearing a Corinthian helmet.

- Britannia is an ancient term for Roman Britain and also a female personification of the island. The name is Latin, and derives from the Greek form Prettanike or Brettaniai, which originally designated a collection of islands with individual names, including Albion or Great Britain; however, by the 1st century BC, Britannia came to be used for Great Britain specifically. In AD 43, the Roman Empire began its conquest of the island, establishing a province they called Britannia, which came to encompass the parts of the island south of Caledonia (roughly Scotland). The native Celtic inhabitants of the province are known as the Britons. In the 2nd century, Roman Britannia came to be personified as a goddess, armed with a trident and shield and wearing a Corinthian helmet. The Latin name Britannia long survived the Roman withdrawal from Britain in the 5th century, and yielded the name for the island in most European and various other languages, including the English Britain and the modern Welsh Prydain. After centuries of declining use, the Latin form was revived during the English Renaissance as a rhetorical evocation of a British national identity. Especially following the Acts of Union in 1707, which joined the Kingdoms of England and Scotland, the personification of the martial Britannia was used as an emblem of British imperial power and unity. She featured on all modern British coinage series until the redesign in 2008. In some depictions, she has a younger sister, the Irish Hibernia.
