FROM TEMPLE TO POULTRY MARKET: 2,000 YEARS OF HISTORY

摘要

Despite the inscription on the pediment to Agrippa, who built an earlier temple on the site, the Pantheon was built - and possibly designed - by Emperor Hadrian in AD 118-125 as a temple to all the classical gods.rnThe temple is Rome's best preserved building from classical antiquity, with a largely unchanged exterior and its original bronze doors. Set on a plinth, it was originally approached via wide steps but since it was built, the level of the surrounding land has risen.
