 Iustitia was introduced by emperor Augustus, and was thus not a very old deity in the Roman pantheon.Justice was one of the virtues celebrated by emperor Augustus in his "clipeus virtutis", and a temple of Iustitia was established in Rome on 8 January 13 BC by emperor Tiberius.Iustitia became a symbol for the virtue of justice with which every emperor wished to associate his regime; emperor Vespasian minted coins with the image of the goddess seated on a throne called "Iustitia Augusta", and many emperors after him used the image of the goddess to proclaim themselves protectors of justice.
