Servius informs us that this statue was put up in the principal forum
of every city as an emblem of civic liberty and even-handed justice.
It stood in front of the old rostra. Horace and Martial both refer to
it as being near the judge's seat. It had a pig-skin of wine on one
shoulder, denoting the plentiful supply to the city, and had the other
arm extended with the hand open, showing that every one should have
equal justice.
