1938 Print Ara Pacis Augustae Altar Augustan Peace Monument Augustus Latium XEZ5

This is an original 1938 black and white relief line-block print of The Ara Pacis Augustae, or the Altar of Augustan Peace with an accompanying paragraph. What the paragraph doesn't mention is that in 1938, when this piece was produced, the enclosure was built at the order of Benito Mussolini in an attempt to make an Ancient Rome theme park. In 2004, it was rebuilt to much protest.
