  • How does placing living family members on a state cult monument change the message of the altar compared to purely mythic scenes?
  • In what ways do the founders (Aeneas/Romulus) at the west entrance prepare viewers to “read” the processional friezes as sacred history?
  • Does the fecund “Tellus” panel read more convincingly as Earth, Fortuna, or Venus—and why?
  • How does the Solare obelisk’s birthday alignment with the Ara Pacis function as propaganda?
