		The Ara Pacis was elaborately and finely sculpted entirely in gleaming white marble, depicting scenes of traditional Roman piety, in which the Emperor and his family were portrayed in the act of offering sacrifices to the gods.

	Meier's New Home for the Ara Pacis - Wired New York Forum
		His new Ara Pacis Museum is the first significant structure to go up in Rome's historic centre since Mussolini's time, and as such it has attracted a great deal of attention, mostly negative.
		The floor of the main hall, housing the Ara Pacis itself, is a polished version of the same stone, while the sides and the ceiling of the main, 13m-high volume that houses the Ara Pacis are predominantly glass.
		Like most new museums, the Ara Pacis is stuffed with unnecessary add-ons: an overly formal lobby, a bookstore and a 150-seat theater that seems a wrongheaded fillip in a museum with a single work of art.

	Ara Pacis '97
		The sundial was erected during the same years as the Ara Pacis, which is the small square structure further to the right of the slide.
		The plan was used in the Ara Pacis because of the connection between the altar's dedication to peace and the fact that the opening and closing of doors of the Temple of Janus indicated whether Rome was at war or at peace.
		In other words, the fact that the plan of the Ara Pacis copies the plan of the Temple to Janus in the Forum does not dictate the particular interpretation of that fact, that I have just given, mainly that the plan of the altar copies that of the temple for political reasons.

	Ara Pacis - Wikipedia
		L'altare è decorato con personaggi femminili sullo zoccolo, mentre nel fregio superiore che gira all'interno ed all'esterno della mensa vi è la raffigurazione di un sacrificio con le Vestali ed il pontefice massimo.
		Nella sezione superiore nei lati lunghi troviamo la rappresentazione del Lupercale, la grotta dove la lupa avrebbe allattato Romolo e Remo, ed il sacrificio di Enea ai Penati che sono entrambi di importanza artistica ben minore degli altri fregi.
		Dopo sette anni di lavori, è stato ultimato l'edificio destinato a racchiudere l'Ara Pacis, progettato dall'architetto Richard Meier in acciaio, travertino, vetro e stucco che è stato inaugurato e aperto ufficialmente al pubblico il 21 aprile 2006 in occasione del Natale di Roma.
