Is that a snake twined on her right arm? Is it Salus?

No snakes in sight I am afraid. Not Salus.

No. All the clues are there to be seen.

Maybe a cap at the feet Libratas?

There is something at the feet but not a cap and there is something in the right hand that isn't a snake.

The identity of this deity is directly pointed to by what is at her feet, which ahs things sticking out the top of it too.

I've been trying to find this for hours! Seems somewhat familiar but I'm coming up empty. Looks like a couple of jars at her feet. Haven't found similar implements in thousands of pictures yet :/ Can't make out what is coming out of/into the jars.
Still not sure what the item in her right hand is. If not a snake, then... capricorn? lituus? lagolobon? aspergillum?
Not giving up yet...

Lawdy lawdy, I think I finally got it. Abundantia, with a shepherd's hook thingy and a modius with grain or something like that.
Maybe from a Hadrian denarius.

Huh. I looked at Annona many times, didn't quite get it. The right elbow position on most is extended, wrist flexed, dropping some corn into the container. Learned a lot by searching though--eventually things will stick in memory. Next:  Edited by ThisIsFun
