Pax (Latin for Peace), more commonly known in English as Peace, was the Roman goddess of peace derived and adopted from the ancient Greek equivalent Eirene.[1] Pax was seen as the daughter of the Roman king god Jupiter and the goddess Justice. Worship of Peace was organized and made popular during the rule of the emperor Augustus who used her imagery to help stabilise the empire after the years of turmoil and civil war of the late republic.[2] Augustus commissioned an altar of peace in her honour on the Campus Martius called Ara Pacis,[3] and the emperor Vespasian built a temple for her on called the Templum Pacis. Pax had a festival held for her on January 30.[4][5] In art she is commonly depicted holding out olive branches as a peace offering, as well as a caduceus, cornucopia, corn and a sceptre.[6] Pax is also often associated with spring.
