<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bergeron, post: 18876660, member: 144876&quot;]Great post! Note that in this particular context, &quot;Gallica&quot; is more of a classical or poetic name for France that became prevalent during the Renaissance. It is somewhat similar to the revival of &quot;Britannia&quot; in England, and is not meant to be an exclusive reference to ancient Gaul. When the French republic later refined its iconography, various depictions of the Marianne ranged from a semeuse wearing the Phrygian cap to a Gallic warrior with a winged helmet. I believe the Statue of Liberty is of similar inspiration.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
