CONCORDIA

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 834 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COM-COR
CONCORDIA , a
Roman
  goddess, the personification of peace and goodwill. Several temples in her honour were erected at Rome, the most ancient being one on the Capitol, dedicated to her by
Camillus
  (367 B.C.), subsequently restored by Livia, the wife of
Augustus
 , and consecrated by Tiberius (A.D. 10). Other temples were frequently built to commemorate the restoration of civil
harmony
 . Offerings were made to Concordia on the birthdays of emperors, and Concordia Augusta was worshipped as the promoter of
harmony
  in the imperial
house
 -hold. Concordia was represented as a matron holding in her right hand a Patera or an
olive
  branch, and in her left a cornu copiae or a
sceptre
 . Her symbols were two hands joined together, and two serpents entwined about a herald's staff.
