I don't know if I can translate it exactly, but it means "peace [is what we have] between wars." That is, we have wars, and what we call peace is just a pause in them. So you could say "peace is a pause in war." But that is just a guess at it. Pace normally means "if you are at peace with it" in the sense of "by your leave or consent" or "if you please." But it is also a case in the declension of "pax," which means peace. Arma often is used as a metaphor for war, "arms." And intermedia means sort of "in the midst of" or "in between."

These words almost seem Italian, except "inter" which may be Latin.
Peace among everyday weapons or between everyday weapons is my best summation.

"By peace in the midst of weapons."
"By," because "peace" is in the ablative case,
I would agree with Sonyack that "weapons" is a figure of speech meaning "war," so "By peace in the midst of war" is good, too.
"Media" does NOT mean "mediate." Or "everyday."

agreement/treaty/pact/deal
between/among
middle
arms/weapons or to provide arms
That's what I got of the words, but I don't know much Latin, so I'd seek a second opinion.
