The Pantheon in Rome is the Roman monument with the greatest number of records: the best preserved, with the biggest brick dome in the history of architecture and is considered theforerunner of all modern places of worship. It is the most copied and imitated of all ancient works.Michelangelo felt it was the work of angels, not men.Where it stands was not chosen by chance, but is a legendary place in the city's history. According to Roman legend, it is the place where the founder of Rome, Romulus, at his death was seized by an eagle and taken off into the skies with the Gods.But what was it for and what does the name mean?The name comes from two Greek words pan, "everything" and teon "divine". Originally, thePantheon was a small temple dedicated to all Roman gods. Built between 27 and 25 B.C. by the consul Agrippa, Prefect of the Emperor Augustus, the present building is the result of subsequent, heavy restructuring.
