Hand-struck Æ Bronze Roman Empire Sestertius (37mm, 31.01g.) Pupienus, Rome mint, struck 238 A.D. References: RIC 22b, Cohen 24, BMC 96. Pax, regarded by the ancients as a goddess, was worshiped not only at Rome but also at Athens. Her altar could not be stained with blood. Claudius began the construction of a magnificent temple to her honor, which Vespasian finished, in the Via Sacra. The attributes of Peace are the hasta pura, the olive branch, the cornucopia, and often the caduceus. Sometimes she is represented setting fire to a pile of arms.
