Fortuna in Roman mythology, the personification of chance or luck is the equivalent of the Greek goddess Tyche.
Daughter of Oceanus, she differed from her sisters' Fates who were goddesses engaged in spinning the thread of human life, in that she worked without rule, giving or taking away at her own pleasure and dispensing joy or sorrow indifferently.
She might bring good or bad luck and she was often represented as veiled and blind, as in modern depictions of Justice, and came to represent life's capriciousness.
Greek artists generally depicted the goddess Fortune with a globe or a rudder, as emblems of her guiding power, or wheel or wings as a symbol of her mutability.
Famously renowned for favouring the brave and the fools, the Roman and Greek goddess of chance and luck always favoured those willing to take a chance and those who used the opportunities that were presented to their full advantage.
The goddess Fortune rewarded those who embraced life and who did their best to flow and learn from the ebbs and currents that are a part of it.
The Romans proudly declared that when she entered their city she threw away her globe and took off her wings and shoes to indicate that she meant to dwell with them forever. Later, she is represented with a bandage over her eyes and a sceptre in her hand, sitting or standing on a wheel or globe.

In many mythologies, there are goddesses associated with wealth, prosperity, or abundance, but there is no specific goddess of gold in a universal sense. However, the Greek goddess Demeter and the Roman goddess Fortuna are often associated with wealth and fertility, which can include gold and other valuable resources.
For the Greek it is Hera queen of the gods also goddess of marraige and children. For the Roman it is Juno and I do not know what the goddess she is of in the Roman world.improvement: when the gods became roman, they stayed the same, only their personality and name differed. Hera became Juno, yes, but she was still goddess of marriage and family
