Detailed Solution

The given statement is false.
Britannia is Britain's national personification, a helmeted female warrior holding a trident and a shield. The Latin Britannia was the name variously applied to the British Isles, Great Britain, and the Roman province of Britain during the Roman Empire, and was first used in classical antiquity. The female form chosen to personify the nation did not represent any specific woman in real life; rather, it attempted to give the abstract idea of the nation a concrete form. In other words, the female figure became an allegory of the nation.
The correct statement would be the British nationals considered Britannia as the symbol of the British nation.
