The ancient Romans made
Originally, Libra was known as "the Claws" of Scorpius the Scorpion to the poet Aratus and others of classical times.
Libra is one of the 48 constellations first cataloged by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy in the second century. Its name means “the weighing scales” in Latin. It is usually depicted as the scales held by the Greek goddess of justice Astrea, which is represented by the neighboring constellation Virgo.
The stars that make Libra used to be viewed as the front claws of the constellation Scorpius, but the Romans saw it as its own separate group of stars and invented Libra, “the scales.” We don't know exactly why or when Libra was pulled apart from Scorpius, but we know that it was in place by at least the second century ...
Several thousand years ago – around 2,000 BCE – the ancient Babylonians apparently associated this constellation with scales or a balance. Quite possibly, they made this association because the sun on the autumnal equinox shone in front of the stars of Libra at that time.
