CONCORDIA

Volume 6 · 107 words · 1815 Edition

a Pagan divinity of the Romans. She Concordia had a temple on the declivity of the Capitol; another in the Portico of Livia; and a third on Mount Palatine, built of brafs by Cn. Flavius, on account of a vow made for reconciling the senate and people. She was pictured with a cup in her right hand; in her left was sometimes a sceptre, and sometimes a cornucopia. Her symbols were two hands joined, as is seen in a coin of Aurelius Verus, and another of Nero; also two serpents twisting about a caduceus. She was addressed to promote the peace and union of families and citizens.
