IANUS, CONCORDIA, SALUS, PAX, STATUAE

statues of these four divinities which were worshipped together on 30th March, according to Ovid (Fast. iii. 881-882: Ianus adorandus cumque hoc Concordia mitis /Et Romana Salus araque Pacis erit). Augustus set up silver statues of ῾Υγίεια δημοσία, ῾Ομονια, εἰρήνη in 11-10 B.C. (Cass. Dio liv. 35. 2), probably those to which Ovid refers with the addition of Janus (CIL is. p. 320). This ara Pacis is not the famous ara Pacis of Augustus.
