Pantheon, Rome

The Pantheon The Pantheon, which means “all the gods”, is a Roman temple that was commissioned by Emperor Hadrian, says Cartwright, in honor of Marcus Agrippa. Today the Pantheon is a major tourist attraction because it is the most well preserved building of ancient Rome, during the years 118 - 125 A.D. From the very front, the Pantheon building comes up to a point, making an obtuse triangle. Bellow one will find an inscription saying “M. AGRIPPA L.F. COS TERTIUM FECIT”, which reads, “Marcus…

A lot of architecture in this modern era reflects that of the past. Ancient Rome specifically had a large influence on the structure of buildings that still stand today. Asheville in particular is a very architecturally interesting city because it hasn 't been completely modernized with tall, straight buildings and has many older buildings still standing even in the center of town. There are many buildings and churches in this little town that reflect past building techniques and styles. One…

Introduction It will be asserted in this essay that despite the differences in style, construction methodologies and functions the Parthenon and Pantheon are united in their primary purpose: as symbols of Imperial glory and the achievements of the elite rulers of the Ancient Greek and Roman cultures, men such as Pericles, Agrippa and Hadrian. Both structures have the appearance of being worshipful and pious tributes to the Gods of the time; but both are actually more celebrations of secular…

Upon inspection of Exodus and the studying of Egyptian theology, one can draw many lines connecting the two. The primary connection is that of an attack on the gods of Egypt. There are a few varying views on the way that they are connected, but whichever way one decides upon, the connections are obvious. The plagues and Exodus in general can teach a great deal about God’s sovereignty and about being spiritual underdogs in a pluralistic world. While researching the ten plagues and Egyptian…

Monticello by Thomas Jefferson and the Pantheon appear to have similar features but are quite different overall. The Pantheon was build between A.D 118 to 125 and its style is ancient Roman. Monticello on the other hand was build a long time after in 1772 and its style is neoclassical. Monticello is a revival of ancient roman architecture which why they have many similar features. The time differences between the two buildings can be clearly seen since the Pantheon has a rusty worn out…

With their father being the god of the dead, ruler of the underworld, and their mother a ghost, the Kanes are not exactly what you would call a “normal family”. Carter and Sadie Kane are two young magicians who live with their uncle Amos in a giant Brooklyn mansion with other trainee magicians from all around the world. As Carter and Sadie are still learning the “path of the gods”, a magic skill to use the god’s power they are studying, they are faced with having to defeat Apophis, which seems…

Emperor Hadrian. The dome of the Pantheon brilliantly designed. The amount of materials, time, and effort, reflects its patrons because they wielded extensive money and power. Also, to obtain such a skilled architect, Apollodorus of Damascus, to build the Pantheon could reflect the patron’s level of influence. The modern structure that is similar to the pantheon is a Christian church. The structures were both built to honor religious divine figures. In the Pantheon, the gods were honored…

Maybe because of it Europe became such strong continent too in the medieval and later cause of its castle walls were so difficult to conquer. These solid walls to which Rome gave beginning shaped, and also changed mentality and attitude of Europeans maybe even to today. Aqueducts which made able great cities of Rome to become even greater ancient metropolises were one of the most important and greatest achievements with the concrete of the Roman…

Although I lived in Chicago for a short period of only a few months, whenever I think about architecture, Chicago downtown is the first thing that comes to my mind. When I first saw the picture of Pantheon in the lecture, it immediately reminded me of the museum of science and industry in Chicago downtown. As you can see in the picture, the combination of a culminated entrance with a magnificent dome gives both buildings a spectacular view. The museum of science and industry (MSI) has…

choose Architecture: Brunelleschi's design of the dome for Florence's cathedral. I remember watching this on NOVA back in 2014, and was intrigued by it then too. This is a feat of modern engineering technology at a time when it shouldn’t have been possible to construct. The Florence cathedral had been constructed as an icon to the world of the power and majesty that Florence was trying to project. Unfortunately, the cathedral had been constructed but the dome to cover it had not, and was…
