Concordia

 

The oldest and main temple of Concordia was built or restored to commemorate the end of the struggle between the patricians and the plebeians. Concordia was the personification of concord and was sometimes identified with Homonoia, the Greek embodiment of harmony. Her temple stood on the northwestern side of the Forum Romanum in Rome, at the foot of Capitoline Hill, and was the site of the annual festival held in her honor on July 22. As with most Roman festivals, there would have been games and a sacrifice. This is a good time to rekindle an old friendship or begin new ones.
