The '''Pantheon''' ([[Latin language|Latin]] ''Pantheon''<ref>Rarely ''Pantheum''. This rare usage appears in [[Pliny's Natural History|Pliny's ''Natural History'']] (XXXVI.38) in describing this edifice: ''Agrippae Pantheum decoravit Diogenes Atheniensis; in columnis templi eius [[Caryatid]]es probantur inter pauca operum, sicut in fastigio posita signa, sed propter altitudinem loci minus celebrata.''</ref>, from [[Greek language|Greek]] Πάνθεον ''Pantheon'', meaning "Temple of all the Gods") is a building in [[Rome]] which was originally built as a [[temple]] to the seven [[god|deities]] of the seven [[planet]]s in the [[Roman religion|state religion]] of [[Ancient Rome]], but which has been a [[Christian]] [[church]] since the [[7th century]]. It is the best-preserved of all Roman buildings. It has been in continuous use throughout its history. Although the identity of the Pantheon's primary architect remains uncertain, it is largely assigned to [[Apollodorus of Damascus]].

===Ancient===
*[[Leonard Tim Hector]]
The original Pantheon was built in [[27 BC]]-[[25 BC]] under the [[Roman Empire]], during the third [[consul]]ship of [[Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa]], and his name is inscribed on the [[portico]] of the building. The inscription reads <small>M·AGRIPPA·L·F·COS·TERTIUM·FECIT</small>, "Marcus Agrippa, son of Lucius, during his third consulate, built this". It was originally built with adjoining [[baths of Agrippa|baths]] and water gardens.

Agrippa's Pantheon was destroyed along with other buildings in a fire in 80, and the current building dates from about 125, during the reign of the Emperor [[Hadrian]]<ref name=roth>{{cite book | first=Leland M. | last=Roth | year=1993 | title=Understanding Architecture: Its Elements, History and Meaning | edition=First | publisher=Westview Press | ___location=Boulder, CO | id=ISBN 0-06-430158-3 | pages=30-1, 128, 224-6}}</ref>, as date-stamps on the bricks reveal. It was totally reconstructed, with the text of the original inscription added to the new [[facade]], a common practice in Hadrian's rebuilding projects all over Rome. Hadrian was a cosmopolitan emperor who travelled widely in the east and was a great admirer of Greek culture. He seems to have intended the Pantheon, a temple to all the gods, to be a kind of [[ecumenism|ecumenical]] or [[syncretism|syncretist]] gesture to the subjects of the [[Roman Empire]] who did not worship the old gods of Rome, or who (as was increasingly the case) worshipped them under other names. How the building was actually used is not known.

The building was later repaired by [[Septimius Severus]] and [[Caracalla]] in 202, for which there is another, smaller inscription.

The building's consecration as a church saved it from the abandonment and spoliation which befell the majority of ancient Rome's buildings during the early [[Middle Ages|mediaeval]] period. [[Paul the Deacon]] records the spoliation of the building by the Emperor [[Constans II]], who visited Rome in July 663:
* [[Shermain Jeremy]]
:"Remaining at Rome twelve days he pulled down everything that in ancient times had been made of metal for the ornament of the city, to such an extent that he even stripped off the roof of the church [of the blessed Mary] which at one time was called the Pantheon, and had been founded in honor of all the gods and was now by the consent of the former rulers the place of all the martyrs; and he took away from there the bronze tiles and sent them with all the other ornaments to Constantinople."

Much fine external marble has been removed in the course of the centuries, and there are capitals from some of the [[pilaster]]s in the [[British Museum]]. The only other loss has been the external sculptures, which adorned the [[pediment]] above Agrippa's inscription. The [[marble]] interior and the great [[bronze]] doors have survived, although the latter have been restored.

Since the [[Renaissance]] the Pantheon has been used as a [[tomb]]. Among those buried there are the [[painter]]s [[Raffaello Santi|Raphael]] and [[Annibale Caracci]], the [[architect]] [[Baldassare Peruzzi]]. In the [[15th century]], the kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkrstytyfetfeytwcfwgvuyg yvu y87iughiufhgkitgtrnmjdmmhmnmPantheon was adorned with paintings: the best-known is the "Annunciazione" by [[Melozzo da Forlì]].

During the reign of [[Pope Urban VIII]] (died 1644), the Pope ordered the bronze ceiling of the Pantheon's portico melted down. Most of the bronze was used to make [[bombard|bombards]] for the fortification of [[Castel Sant'Anbkljgkbmgmf v bglkdvfj l;fbo n;lhgnl;keth4onlghn th;nikhojtikynpeoturpoyj8ukhiyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy53gelo]], with the remaining amount used by the [[Apostolic Camera]] for various other works. (It is also said that the bronze was used by [[Bernini]] in creating the [[baldachino]] above the main [[altar]] of [[St. Peter's Basilica]], but according to at least one expert, the Pope's accounts state that about 90% of the bronze was used for the cannon, and that the bronze for the baldachin came from [[Venice]].[http://gnv.fdt.net/~aabbeama/Christmas/Pantheon.html]) This led to the [[Latin]] proverb, ''Quod non fecerunt barbari, fecerunt Barberini'' ("What the barbarians did not do, the [[Barberini]]s [Urban VIII's family name] did").

In 1747, the broad frieze below the dome with its false windows was “restored,” but bore little resemblance to the original. In the early decades of the twentieth century, a piece of the original, as could be reconstructed from Renaissance drawings and paintings, was recreated in one of the panels.

Also buried there are two kings of [[Italy]]: [[Victor Emmanuel II of Italy|Vittorio Emanuele II]] and [[Humbert I of Italy|Umberto I]], as well as Umberto's Queen, Margherita. Although Italy has been a republic since [[1946]], volunteer members of Italian monarchist organisations maintain a vigil over the royal tombs in the Pantheon. This has aroused protests from time to time from republicans, but the Catholic authorities allow the practice to continue, although the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage [http://www.beniculturali.it/default.asp?versione=Inglese&from=1] is in charge of the security and maintenance.

The building is circular with a [[portico]] of three ranks of huge granite [[Corinthian order|Corinthian]] columns (eight in the first rank and two groups of four behind) under a [[pediment]] opening into the [[rotunda (architecture)|rotunda]], under a coffered, [[concrete]] [[dome]], with a central opening ([[oculus]]), the Great Eye, open to the sky. A rectangular structure links the portico with the rotunda. Though often still drawn as a free-standing building, there was a library building at its rear into which it abutted; of this building there are only archaeological remains.

In the walls at the back of the portico were niches, probably for statues of [[Julius Caesar|Caesar]], [[Augustus]] and [[Agrippa]], or for the [[Capitoline Triad]], or another set of gods. The large [[bronze]] doors to the [[cella]], once plated with [[gold]], still remain, but the gold has long since vanished. The pediment was decorated with a sculpture in bronze showing the Battle of the [[Titan (mythology)|Titans]] - holes may still be seen where the clamps which held the sculpture in place were fixed.

The 4,535 metric ton (5,000 tn) weight of the concrete dome is concentrated on a ring of [[voussoir]]s 9.1 metres (30 ft) in diameter which form the oculus while the downward thrust of the dome is carried by eight [[barrel vault]]s in the 6.4 metre (21 ft) thick drum wall into eight piers. The thickness of the dome varies from 6.4 metres (21 ft) at the base of the dome to 1.2 metres (4 ft) around the oculus. The height to the oculus and the diameter of the interior circle are the same, 43.3 metres (142.5 ft), so the whole interior would fit exactly within a cube (alternatively, the interior could house a sphere 43 metres (142.5 ft) in diameter).<ref name=roth/> The dome is the largest surviving from antiquity and was the largest dome in western Europe until [[Brunelleschi]]'s dome of the [[Santa Maria del Fiore|Duomo]] of [[Florence]] was completed in [[1436]]. It was covered with gilded bronze plates.

The interior of the roof was probably intended to symbolize the arched vault of the heavens.<ref name=roth/> The Great Eye at the dome's apex is the source of all light and is symbolic of the [[sun]]. Its original circular bronze [[cornice]] remains in position. The oculus also serves as a cooling and ventilation method. As wind passes over the dome of the Pantheon, it is accelerated and creates a negative pressure zone called the [[Venturi effect]]. This pulls air out of the oculus at the top of the dome, drawing more air in from the portico entrance.

The interior features sunken panels ([[coffer]]s), which originally contained bronze star ornaments. This coffering was not only decorative, but also reduced the weight of the roof, as did the elimination of the [[apex]] by means of the Great Eye. The top of the rotunda wall features a series of brick-relieving arches, visible on the outside and built into the mass of the brickwork. The Pantheon is full of such devices - for example, there are relieving arches over the recesses inside - but all these arches were, of course, originally hidden by [[marble]] facing.

It may be noted that the proportions of the building are in discord with the classical ideal. Most evident is the rather large pediment, which appears far too "heavy" for the columns supporting it. The reason for this was the expectation that the building would be much taller than it actually is, which would affect larger columns. However, by the time the pediment was built, it was realised that the supply of imported stone for the columns was not enough to build to its anticipated height, and thus the builders had to settle with a building that is somewhat out of proportion.{{fact}}

The exact composition of the Roman [[concrete]] used in the dome remains a mystery. An unreinforced dome in these proportions made of modern concrete would hardly stand the load of its own weight, since concrete has very low [[tensile strength]], yet the Pantheon has stood for centuries. It is known from Roman sources that their concrete is made up of a pasty hydrate [[Calcium hydroxide|lime]]; [[pozzolanic ash]] and lightweight [[pumice]] from a nearby volcano; and fist-sized pieces of rock. In this, it is very similar to modern concrete.<ref name=roth/> The high tensile strength appears to come from the way the concrete was applied in very small amounts and then was tamped down to remove excess water at all stages. This appears to have prevented the air bubbles that normally form in concrete as the material dries, thus increasing its strength enormously.

As the best-preserved example of monumental [[Roman architecture]], the Pantheon was enormously influential on European and American architects from the Renaissance (starting with [[Brunelleschi]]'s dome of the [[Santa Maria del Fiore|Duomo]] of [[Florence]], completed in [[1436]]) to the [[19th century]] such as the [[Rotunda of Mosta]]. Numerous [[City hall (administration)|city hall]]s, [[university|universities]] and [[public library|public libraries]] echo its portico-and-dome structure. Examples of notable buildings influenced by the Pantheon include [[British Museum Reading Room]], [[Thomas Jefferson]]'s [[The Rotunda (University of Virginia)|Rotunda]] at the [[University of Virginia]], Low Library at [[Columbia University]], [[New York]], The Marble Hall of the [[Sanssouci]] palace in Potsdam, Germany, and the [[State Library of Victoria]] in [[Melbourne]], [[Australia]]. Some changes have been made in the interior decoration, however.
