Ara Pacis

Elaborately sculpted altar in Rome, consecrated in 13 BC to mark the return of Augustus from the provinces of Spain and Gaul, and dedicated in 9 BC. Intended as a symbol of the new age of imperial rule, it stood in the Campus Martius, surrounded by a rectangular enclosure. Intricate relief sculpture, among the greatest artistic achievements of the Augustan era, pictured the act of consecration and the imperial family, alongside scenes from Roman mythology.
