<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MattJW, post: 645316, member: 19011&quot;]I&#039;m pretty sure I have thought it out and you might want to get your facts straight. The original personification of Liberty in early Roman times had her&nbsp; with a conical felt hat that was indicative of what was given to freed slaves, now if I recall correctly the Liberty Cap Large Cent (1793-1796), Half Cent (1794-1797), Bust Dime (1809-1837), Bust Quarter (1815-1838), etc. are all direct representations of the Roman Goddess. Finally, so past presidents are boring subject matter, yet the same representation just with minor design changes isn&#039;t?</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/1389461/Libertas" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/1389461/Libertas" rel="nofollow">http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/1389461/Libertas</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
