This ornate image depicts the Latin proverb "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum", which translates as "If you want peace, prepare for war". The inscription is depicted on an elegant black background, flanked by decorative ornaments and framed by skulls, which emphasise the serious and resolute character of the motto. A sword is depicted below the inscription, the details of which are skilfully crafted and visually support the martial message. The design radiates a mixture of strength, determination and ancient wisdom.
