Concordia - Mythology. Roman The goddess who personified concord, or harmony, particularly between citizens and the state or government. The oldest temple to her was built in 367 b.c. at the foot of the Capitoline Hill, and represented an agreement between the commoners and the members of the ruling families. The Roman Senate often met in Concordia's temple. She is pictured on coins, which were usually minted after a rebellion or civil war, as a matron, sitting, wearing a long cloak, and holding a saucer, cornucopia, or olive branch. Concordia was known as Harmonia in Greek mythology, and she had a temple in Olympia, site of the Olympic Games. (See also Pax and Eirene.)
