Ara Pacis, Ancient Roman altar in Municipio I, Rome, Italy
The Ara Pacis contains marble panels depicting Roman deities, mythological figures, and processions of imperial family members along its exterior walls.
The Roman Senate commissioned this altar in 13 BC to celebrate Emperor Augustus's return from military campaigns in Hispania and Gaul.
The relief sculptures on the altar demonstrate Roman artistic techniques, family values, and religious practices through detailed depictions of ceremonies and rituals.
The museum housing the Ara Pacis opens daily from 9:30 AM to 7:30 PM, with entrance fees of 10.50 euros for adults and 8.50 euros for reduced tickets.
The monument underwent a complete reconstruction in 1938, requiring a 90-degree rotation from its original orientation due to spatial constraints.
