In Roman mythology, Veritas (meaning truth) was the goddess of truth and a daughter of Saturn.

Veritas is also the name given to the virtue of truthfulness, which was considered one of the main virtues any good Roman should have possessed. The term now appears in many University mottos; most notably, Veritas is part of Yale University's motto Lux et Veritas and is also Harvard University's motto. It is also the motto of the Dominican Order of the Roman Catholic Church, and the adopted pseudonym of a would-be superhero in an animation called "The Ballad of Veritas Man".
