'''Pax''' is the Roman goddess of peace.

"His second wife was radiant Themis; she bore the Seasons,
Lawfulness and Justice and blooming Peace,
who watch over the works of mortal men..." - Hesiod, Theogony, 901-3

Open of yourselves, you doors, for mighty Ploutos (Wealth) will enter
in, and with Ploutos comes jolly Euphrosyne (Mirth) and gentle Eirene
(Peace). " - Homer's Epigrams XV

"And with a heart unsullied labours for Eirene, the city's friend." -
Pindar, Odes Olympian 4

"How far peace outweighs war in benefits to man; Eirene (Peace), the
chief friend and cherisher of the Mousai (Muses); Eirene (Peace), the
enemy of revenge, lover of families and children, patroness of wealth.
Yet these blessings we viciously neglect, embrace wars; man with man,
city with city fights, the strong enslaves the weak." - Euripides,
Suppliant Women 484

"The Horai, as they are called, to each of them, according as her name
indicates, was given [assigned by Zeus and Hera] the ordering and
adornment of life, so as to serve to the greatest advantage of
mankind; for there is nothing which is better to build a life of
felicity than obedience to law (Eunomia) and justice (Dike) and peace
(Eirene)." - Diodorus Siculus, Library of History 5.72.5

On the Campus Martius
(Field of Mars, the god of war), she had a minor sanctuary called the
Ara Pacis, dedicated to her on January 30, 9 B.C. Her temple was on
the Forum Pacis (Templum Placis) built on the site of a meat market by
Vespasian, which was dedicated in A.D. 75. She was depicted in art
with olive branches, a cornucopia and a sceptre. Pax became
celebrated (in both senses of the word) as Pax Romana and Pax Augusta
from the 2nd century B.C.

In Greek mythology, she was Eirene or Irene ("peace"), daughter of
Zeus and Themis, one of the first generation of Horae. The Horae (the
Hours, or Seasons) were Pax and her sisters Lawfulness, Wisdom and
Order (Eunomia) and Justice (Justitia/Dike). are sometimes considered
to be the three aspects of Themis. As goddesses of the seasons, they
brought order to nature. Eirene was the personification of peace and
wealth and was depicted in art as a beautiful young woman carrying a
cornucopia, sceptre and a torch or rhyton.
