EDITORS COMMENTS
Ara Pacis," or the Altar of Peace, is a magnificent masterpiece of Roman art and architecture, dating back to the 1st century AD. This exquisite Carrara marble altar was discovered in Espinardo, Murcia, Spain, and is now proudly displayed at the Archaeological Museum of Catalonia in Barcelona. The Ara Pacis is a funerary monument, commissioned by the Roman Senate to celebrate the peace and prosperity brought about by the accession of Augustus as the first Roman Emperor in 27 BC. The altar's intricate decoration reflects the Romans' deep reverence for the gods and their belief in the importance of peace and good governance. The exterior of the altar is adorned with elaborate relief sculptures, depicting various deities, including the goddess Pax (Peace) and the goddess Venus Victrix (Venus the Victorious). The interior of the altar is equally impressive, with intricate decorative motifs and detailed reliefs of the imperial family, including Augustus, Livia Drusilla, and their children. One of the most striking features of the Ara Pacis is the helm and rudder, symbols of the Roman navy and the power of the emperor to control the seas. The helm and rudder are intricately carved and are believed to represent Augustus' role as the "pilot of the state." The Ara Pacis is a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of ancient Rome and provides valuable insights into the beliefs, values, and artistic styles of the Roman people. Its discovery and preservation are a significant milestone in the history of archaeology and a source of great pride for Spain and the world. The Ara Pacis is a must-see attraction for anyone interested in ancient history, art, or Roman culture. Its intricate details and historical significance make it a truly awe-inspiring work of art that continues to captivate and inspire visitors to the Archaeological Museum of Catalonia in Barcelona.
