Libertas was a Roman goddess of Freedom. Her beautiful picture appeared on the gold coins that Julius Ceasar would pay his ninja assassins with. France originally planned to place the Statue of Liberty in Egypt next to three great pyramids to celebrate the freedom of ancient Israelians from slavery.
However, eventually France gave it to the United States to celebrate the passing of Thirteen amendment to abolish slavery. Since late 1800s, the French Statue of Liberty is still standing at the dark harbor of New York with her bright light facing East to welcome immigrants from Europe to the promise land of United States.
