roma and the famous representation of tellus/pax, the peace giving earth mother. she is holding playing children in her arms, fruit is lying in her lap, and an ox and a sheep are peacefully resting on the ground. air and water are depicted allegorically; in fact the entire relief is an allegory to the peace granted by augustus, which provided growth, prosperity and peaceful co-existence to the people.
