Su imagen la muestra como una joven virgen vestida de blanco. Veritas es también el nombre que recibe la virtud romana de la veracidad, que era considerada una de las principales virtudes que un buen romano debía poseer. En la mitología griega, Veritas era conocida como Aletheia. Usos de la palabra La palabra latina aparece en la actualidad en muchos lemas universitarios.
