The Ara Pacis, or “Altar of Peace,” was built by Rome’s first emperor, Augustus, and is decorated with some of antiquity’s finest reliefs. Intricately carved Acanthus flower motifs swirl so vividly around the façade that it feels like you can almost pick them off the white marble in real life. In the Acanthus Emerald necklace, the arch’s transcendent design echoes across the ages. A monumental piece, it combines history, timeless craftsmanship, and eternal beauty.
