The Material Honored for Centuries
The Temple of Jupiter Tonans, dedicated to Jupiter the Thunderer, was one of the most symbolically charged sanctuaries of ancient Rome. Commissioned by Emperor Augustus in 22 BC, the temple was built in gratitude after he narrowly escaped a lightning strike.
The Ara Pacis Augustae, or Altar of Augustan Peace, is an ancient altar dedicated to Pax, the Roman goddess of peace. Commissioned by the Roman Senate in 13 BC and inaugurated by Emperor Augustus in 9 BC, it was built to commemorate Augustus's victorious return from campaigns in Hispania and Gaul.
