Ara Pacis
The Ara Pacis Augustae is a Roman altar and enclosed precinct built to celebrate Augustus's return and the peace (Pax Romana). It consists of a marble sacrificial altar set within decorated precinct walls carved with vegetal motifs, processional friezes and mythological panels. The reconstructed monument now stands on a raised podium near the Campus Martius in Rome.

As it stood in 8 BC
The shape it held in its prime.
A low rectangular precinct of pale Luna marble set on a raised podium, its outer walls densely carved in low relief. A broad western flight of steps leads into an open ritual enclosure; the exterior lower zone shows acanthus scrolls, animals and insects, while the upper register carries human processions and mythological panels. Cornice and pilaster mouldings frame the panels. At prime, the marble surfaces read as a continuous, pale, weathered-white box of carved imagery.
