Summary
| Description | The other panel on the former east (now north) side of the altar. This one depicts a goddess—variously argued to be Tellus (a personification of the earth), Italia, Pax, Venus, or another goddess—holding twins on her lap. They are thought to represent the adopted sons of Emperor Augustus at the time of its construction, Caesar Gaius and Lucius Caesar, who in turn represent the future of Rome. Surrounding the goddess and children is a scene of fertility: an ox, a sheep, poppies and other flowers, fruit, and a bird. Two nymphs representing beneficial land breezes and sea breezes flank the scene. |
