Описание:

Dedicated to the Roman Peace, enforced piece
Lasted over 200 years (27 BC - 180AD)

Monument commemorates Augustus' return to Rome after the Civil War, and his establishment of firm Roman rule in Spain and France

Emperor Augustus liked to remind the population that he brought peace to an area of unrest after the period of Julius Caesar, it is also a propagandistic monument - dedicated to his role as peacemaker, and his own personal glory
e.g. in text of a Greek altar that is similar, this is a Roman adaptation of an earlier Greek model

Greek Key pattern - borrowing
Acanthus plant - Corinthian column, Greek motif
Elements look like columns, pilasters, flat, decorative pieces
Festunes - garland like decoration inside the altar, Roman decoration
Doorway - post and lintel construction, materials do not have to be stone
