The Coat of Arms of Târgu Jiu consists of a Shield with seven towers. In the centre of the Shield lies the representation of Constantin Brancusi 's Endless Column , a symbol of Romanian art and culture. In the right and left sides of the shield lies a golden lion holding a black sword, "garding" the Column. The Lion is the ancient symbol of Oltenia , thought to be originating from the logo of one Rome's Legions station in this aria, the 13 th Legion "Gemina(Legio XIII Gemina)". It represents the bravery and combativ spirit of the city's enhabitants.

The city takes its name from the river "Jiu", which runs through it.
The coins, ceramics and Roman bricks founded while digging, support the idea that it was a commercial town (a vicus) under Roman Empire’s rule.
