In Roman mythology, Aequitas, also known as Aecetia, was the goddess of fair trade and honest merchants. Like Abundantia, she is depicted with a cornucopia, representing wealth from commerce. She is also shown holding a balance, representing equity and fairness. During the Roman Empire, Aequitas was sometimes worshipped as a quality or aspect of the emperor, under the name Aequitas Augusti.
Aequitas is the source of the word equity, and also means "equality" or "justice".

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.
Veritas was known in Greece as Alatheia.

UIrban Dictionary:
2. Veritas Aequitas
Its base form is the ancient Greek language and stands for "Truth Justice"
To some this is a very powerful combination of words, that have a deep meaning and power of their own.
To others, it is a catch phrase used in the movie Boondock Saints, kind of like a motto.
I believe it is a basis for what most humans should live their life by, day and day. Truth and Justice would basically end all crime. Will that day ever come?
1. Hey, I completely believe in Veritas Aequitas.
2. Wasn't that cool when the guys had Veritas and Aequitas on their hands?

RE:
What is 'Aequitas' and 'Veritas'¿?
Like from the Boondock Saints
Aequitas means justice and equality while veritas means truth.
Aequitas means more correctly equity, which is closer to justice than equality. Veritas is truth, verified fact.
veritas - truth , but Aequitas I don`t know what it means .
Equality and Truth...
