| | Pantheon, Rome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Pantheon is a building in Rome which was originally built as a temple to the seven deities of the seven planets in the Roman state religion, but which has been a Christian church since the 7th century. | | | He seems to have intended the Pantheon, a temple to all the gods, to be a kind of ecumenical or syncretist gesture to the subjects of the Roman Empire who did not worship the old gods of Rome, or who (as was increasingly the case) worshipped them under other names. | | | The Pantheon is still a church and Masses are still celebrated in the church, particularly for weddings. |

| | In other words, is it possible that the Pantheon, originally dedicated to the gods, should have been used, six years later, as a caldarium, and thus have been absorbed as an integral part of the great whole? | | | Was the Pantheon connected directly or indirectly with the baths, or did it stand by itself, alone, independent, at the northern end of the quadrangle? | | | He raised it to worthier destinies, because it is becoming that such noble material should keep off the enemies of the Church rather than the rain. |

Surprisingly, at that point, this classic Roman temple, converted into a Christian church, was already more than 1350 years old. | | | While the Pantheon may be divinely protected, there are more earthbound reasons for its survival as well. | | | The ancients constructed this first Pantheon after Romulus (753-716 BC), their mythological founder, ascended to heaven from that site. |
