Within the framework of the description of justice made by Aulio Gellius in Book and Stoicism until reaching the Renaissance. It is in this last period where she finally acquired all the elements with which she is recognized today: the nubile young woman, the sword, the scales and the blindfold. In this way, an attempt was made to demonstrate and notice how the elements that were progressively added correspond to the Christian worldview of the act of judging.
