The Pantheon is a building in Rome, originally intended as a temple to all the gods and now being used as a catholic church. Though the monumental inscription over the Corinthian? columns on the porch claims a building date during the third consulship of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa around 27 BC, the Pantheon was completely rebuilt in about A.D. 125, during the rule of Hadrian, as archeologists studying the date-stamps on the Roman bricks discovered.
