Pax was more of a spirit of peace than a goddess. The Romans often used the name of Pax during a certain period of Rome's greatest extent of their empire, such as Pax Romana ("Roman Peace") or Pax Augusta during the reign of Augustus (27 BC - AD 14).
Pax was often depicted as a young woman carrying a cornucopia, an olive branch or a sheaf of grain.
