Ara  Pacis​

Latest update: 26 February 2022
Housed in the Ara Pacis Museum, the Ara Pacis Augustae is a monument built in 13 BC to commemorate Pax, the Roman goddess of Peace.

The monument which is an altar, was originally  built to mark the return of the Emperor Augustus after his successful conquests in France and Spain. ​
Although its current location is on the banks of the Tiber close to Ponte Cavour, it was originally located on the Mars Field before being moved in 1938 and reassembled in its present position in the museum. ​​
