Minerva

The Romans revered and honoured the goddess Minerva (origin Latin, ‘the mind’) as a symbol of wisdom and justice.

Her knowledge, patience and strategic mind symbolised a strong cultural and civilising influence; the trademark offering of ‘an olive branch’ to acknowledge justness and sympathy stays with us to this day.

But she stands most of all for the boundless joy and inspiration of curiosity, an emotion not lost on the great mind of Albert Einstein, who famously said, “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science”.
