Some information you should know about Pantheon
The early history of the Pantheon can be traced back to the Roman Republic in 27 BC, built by Octavius's deputy, Agrippa, to commemorate Octavian's defeat of Anthony and Cleopatra. However, mysteries still lie in the special architectural design of this temple in the center of Rome, built and completed by Emperor Hadrian around 128 BC.
However, this original temple was destroyed by fire in 80 AD. It was not until 125 AD that the Roman emperor Hadrian, who loved architecture, ordered a rebuild and engraved the letters "M • AGRIPPA • L • F on the mountain flower of the new temple. • The words COS COS • TERTIUM • FECIT means the son of Lucius and the third governor, Marcus Agriba, to build this temple.
This passage misleads people into thinking that the colonnade was left over from Agripa's time. It wasn't until the year 1892, that it was found that all the colonnade markings were dated around 125 AD, only to confirm that the entire building was built during Hadrian's period... Some experts who studied Research have just come up with a quite attractive hypothesis that the temple was once considered a giant sundial, with the sun's rays passing through the hole (called the oculus - the eye of the temple) in the roof. The hemispherical arch above illuminated the entrance door at the exact moment Emperor Hadrian entered the temple to celebrate the equinox.
During the Renaissance, the building became the object of study by Italian architects. The actual destruction of the Pantheon was in the mid-16th century when the Holy See was preparing to rebuild St. Peter's Basilica, Pope Urban VIII on the ceiling of the porch. Gilded bronze panels were removed and melted down to construct the canopy over the main altar of St. Peter's Basilica and the 80 cannons of the Basilica of Sant'Angelo.
