Pantheon ; D’Esp. Fr. i. 69-74 ; ii. 67-68 ; Durm 550-573 ; DuP 128-

drawings we may cite Cod. Escurialensis, f. 29, 30 (from originals which
were also copied by Raphael—Uffizi 164 ; Bartoli cit. lxiv. 99 ; lxv. 100—
and Jacopo Sansovino (?) Uffizi, 1948-1950 ; cf. Bartoli in text to ccclix.

Parianenses : the inhabitants of a district, probably somewhere on the
Esquiline, who are mentioned only once (CIL vi. 9103 = 31895 ; HJ 338).
Pavor et Pallor, fanum : a shrine that Tullus Hostilius is said to have
vowed at the critical moment when the Albans deserted the Romans in
the battle against the Veientes and Fidenates (Liv. i. 27. 7). There
is no other mention made of this shrine,1 which probably never existed
at all (WR 149 ; Rosch. iii. 1341-1342).
Pax, templum * (aedes, Viet. ; Είρηνης νεως, Procop. ; Ειρηναίον, Cass. Dio
lxxii. ; τεμενος Ειρήνης, other Greek writers) : the temple of Peace
which was begun by Vespasian after the capture of Jerusalem in 71 a.d.,
and dedicated in 75 (Suet. Vesp. 9 ; Joseph, b. Iud. vii. 5. 7 (158) ; Cass.
Dio lxv. 15. 1 ; Aur. Viet. Caes. 9. 7 ; Ep. 9. 8). It stood in the middle of
the forum Pacis, north of the basilica Aemilia (Mart. i. 2. 8), probably
at the junction of the modern Vie Alessandrina and dei Pozzi. Statius
seems to ascribe the completion of this temple to Domitian (Silv. iv. 3. 17 ;
cf. iv. 1. 13), but this emperor’s claim may have had little foundation
(cf. Suet. Dom. 5). Within the temple, or attached closely to it, was a
library, bibliotheca Pacis (Gell. v. 21. 9 ; xvi. 8. 2 ; Boyd, 16-17, 36-37).
In it were placed many of the treasures brought by Vespasian from
Jerusalem, as well as famous works of Greek artists (Joseph, b. Iud.
vii. 5.7; Plin. NH xii. 94 ; xxxiv. 84 ; xxxv. 102, 109 ; xxxvi. 27,
58 ; Paus. vi. 9. 3 ; Iuv. ix. 23 ; Hephaest. ap. Phot. Bibl. 149. 32 Bekk.),
and Pliny (NH xxxvi. 102) speaks of it, the basilica Aemilia and the
forum of Augustus, as the three most beautiful monuments in Rome.
Just before the death of Commodus, probably in 191, the temple was
destroyed by fire (Cass. Dio lxxii. 24. 1 ; Galen, de comp. med. i. 1),2
but it must have been restored, probably by Severus, for it is mentioned
in the succeeding centuries as one of the most magnificent buildings
in the city (Herod, i. 14. 2 ; Amm. Marcell. xvi. 10. 14 ; Hist. Aug.
trig. tyr. 31. 10). It gave its name to the fourth region of the city (Not.
Reg. IV). In 408 there were seismic disturbances for seven successive
days in the forum Pacis (Marcell. Comes, Chron. min. ed. Mommsen
1 The deities are mentioned often enough by later writers, but all go back directly or
indirectly to Livy.
