Ancient Rome
The Ara Pacis, or Altar of Peace, is a monumental altar in Rome dedicated to Pax, the Roman goddess of Peace. Built during the reign of Augustus between 13 and 9 BCE, it symbolizes the peace and prosperity brought about by Augustus's leadership and the establishment of the Roman Empire. This structure not only served a religious purpose but also functioned as a political statement celebrating the achievements of Augustus and the Julio-Claudian dynasty.
