  • Rome, Ara Pacis, detail of sculptured reliefs of white marble, restored.   A goddess sits amid a scene of fertility and prosperity with twins on her lap.

Due to the widespread depiction around the sculpture of scenes of peace, and because the Altar is named "peace", the favored conclusion is that the goddess is Pax.
