In the Roman Empire, fish often symbolized fertility, abundance, and prosperity. They were associated with various deities, including Neptune, the god of the sea, and were commonly featured in art and mythology. Additionally, fish served as a significant food source, particularly in coastal regions, and were emblematic of the empire's extensive trade networks and culinary diversity. The early Christians also adopted the fish as a symbol of faith, using it to signify Christ and the act of baptism.
As is common with symbols, it can vary greatly from one culture to the next. The Chinese culture is well known for their symbols of prosperity. They have a written symbol that is more commonly used. They also represent prosperity with a golden dragon or with a pair of fish called yu. See the related links for some examples.
