This was my first day visiting the Roman Western Empire. I decided to travel to the Pantheon, which was a temple that was designed for the twelve Roman Gods; Jupiter, Juno, Mars, Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Apollo, Diana, Minerva, Ceres, Vulcan, and Vesta. The original structure of the building was completed around 126 - 128 B.C., during the reign of Emperor Hadrian. The Pantheon was burned down on two occasions; the original structure was destroyed by fire in 80 B.C. The temple was then rebuilt by Emperor Domitian, but unfortunately burned down again in 110 B.C. As I was walking through the temple, I overheard two citizens saying that when Emperor Hadrian came in power, I did not discover the exact role he had in the building of the temple, but he had a hand in the building of the Pantheon. The current architect of the temple was unknown to the people. The interior of the temple was enormous and beautiful. Emperor Hadrian was on a building spree, during the time that he rebuilt the Pantheon he also built Hadrian Wall, which marks the northwest frontier of the Roman Empire. In the building there was a circle-in-square pavement pattern and a disc of light that came through the top of the temple, which illuminated the entirety of the building. During his lifetime and reign, Emperor Hadrian held court in the building on occasion. There were large bronze doors at the entrance. The interior of the Pantheon was enormous. When I entered into it, the building appeared big enough to hold one of the Gods, they worshipped. Which added a nice touch to structure. It was made using bricks and concrete, there were three main sections in the Pantheon; there was a portica at the entrance that was held up by granite columns, there was a domed rotunda, and a rectangular area that connected the other two sections of the Pantheon. The sun was still lout when I came out and allowed me to see the decorative grandeur of the rotunda. My favorite part of the visit was the beautiful marble interior and the wonderful colors. The pavement continues that similar color theme with squares that activates the environment of the building.
