Rome, Italy. The most important decoration of the Ara Pacis Augustae, on the back side of the outer wall, to the left of the opening, showing Tellus, a divinity representing Earth and his Fruits and more in general Peace and Prosperity (represented also by the two putti sitting near her). Two nymphs at her sides, one sitting on a swan and the other on a sea monster, might represent Air and Water.
