| Detail of a scene of the gods |
1.Museo
dell’Ara Pacis in Roma
2.Roman
temple with altar in honour of Augustus’ return from Galia & Hispania
3.The
Roman Senate voted for its construction in 13 B.C. on Campus Martius
4.It
is an almost square monument of marble of 10 mts. side and 6 mts. high
depicting ornamental plants in lower part and roman personalities tied to
Augustus on higher part and some mythological high reliefs
5.Ara
Pacis is located close to Tiber river in a museum and it is visited frequently
by groups of students
6.This
kind of Roman temple is very singular and original, very different than other
interesting Roman constructions like triumphal arches and columns.
7. Ara Pacis is isolated
from the busy transit in the outside. It can be visited slowly and see all
details, decorations and characters who appear there. Its visit transport us back
2000 years to the glorious Roma past.
