EDITORS COMMENTS
The Ara Pacis Augustae, or Altar of Peace of Augustus, is a magnificent ancient Roman monument dedicated to the goddess Pax, or Peace, and the emperor Augustus. This intricately detailed relief from the processional frieze on the original north side of the altar, dating back to the 13th century BC, showcases the allegorical representation of peace and the harmony of the Roman state. The scene depicts a procession of deities, senators, and Vestal Virgins, all adorned in togas and laurel wreaths, making their way towards the altar. The allegorical figures of Peace, Victory, and Concordia are prominently displayed, each holding symbols of their respective domains. The mythological figures of Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva are also present, underscoring the divine support for the Roman state. The relief is a masterpiece of Roman art, with its intricate details and lifelike portrayal of the figures. The togate senators and togatus figures are depicted with a sense of dignity and importance, reflecting the political and social hierarchy of the Roman Republic. The use of laurel wreaths and other symbols of Roman power further emphasizes the significance of the occasion. The Ara Pacis Augustae is now housed in the Museum of the Ara Pacis in Rome, Italy, where it continues to be a source of inspiration and fascination for scholars and visitors alike. This intricately sculpted relief is a testament to the artistic and historical importance of ancient Rome, and a reminder of the enduring legacy of its rich cultural heritage.
