EDITORS COMMENTS
Ara Pacis Augustae: The Eternal Goddess of Peace Sits Triumphant The figure of the goddess Roma, depicted in this 13th century BC relief from the Ara Pacis Augustae in Rome, Italy, embodies the eternal spirit of peace and victory. Seated atop a mound of trophy weapons, she gazes outward with a serene expression, her right hand extended in a gesture of blessing or protection. The trophies at her feet, symbolizing the spoils of war, are a testament to the military triumphs of Augustus, the Roman emperor who commissioned the monument. The Ara Pacis Augustae, or Altar of Peace, was built in 13 BC to celebrate the Pax Romana, the long period of peace and stability that marked the reign of Augustus. The monument, which includes a frieze panel and a sacrificial altar, was designed to be a symbol of the Roman Empire's power and prosperity. The allegorical figure of Roma, the personification of the Roman state, was a common motif in Roman art. She was often depicted as a goddess wearing a crown of oak leaves, symbolizing strength and endurance, and holding a pilleus, or cap, which represented the freedom of the Roman people. In this relief, Roma's allegorical significance is underscored by her seating on the pile of trophies, which represents the subjugation of Rome's enemies and the establishment of peace. The Ara Pacis Augustae is a masterpiece of Roman art, and its intricate relief panels continue to captivate scholars and visitors alike with their intricate details and historical significance. This figure of Roma, with her serene expression and regal posture, serves as a reminder of the enduring power and resilience of the Roman Empire, and the eternal quest for peace and prosperity that has defined human civilization throughout history.
