EDITORS COMMENTS
This relief panel, hailing from the Ara Pacis Augustae in Rome, Italy, dates back to the 13th century BC. The scene depicted is an allegorical representation of Aeneas, the legendary Trojan hero, sacrificing to the Penates, the Roman deities of the household and agriculture. Two young attendants, dressed in short tunics and adorned with laurel wreaths, accompany Aeneas in this sacred ritual. The taller attendant holds a fluted tray in his left hand, filled with fruits and cakes, offering them to the Penates, while in his right hand, he carries a pitcher next to a sacrificial pig. The other attendant, also togate, stands beside Aeneas, holding a tray with offerings and a pitcher in his hands. This allegorical scene from Roman mythology is a significant part of the Ara Pacis Augustae, a monument built by Augustus in 13 BC to celebrate the Pax Romana, or Roman Peace. The monument is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of ancient Rome, showcasing its mythology, artistic prowess, and political power. The intricately sculpted relief, with its lifelike figures and attention to detail, is a masterpiece of Roman art that continues to captivate and inspire scholars and visitors alike. The Ara Pacis Augustae, now housed in the Museum of the Ara Pacis in Rome, stands as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Roman civilization and its profound impact on Western culture.
