	Gods Graves Glyphs	The original Pantheon stood on the same site and burned down in the great fire of Rome during Nero's reign. It was rebuilt by, hmm, one of the Flavians (I think) who also gave us the Colosseum. The exterior appears flatter because of the Romans' method of self-centering. Brunelleschi studied the Pantheon (among other Roman structures) in his pursuit of the design for the dome of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence Italy.

It’s not a sundial - it’s a Catholic church! (smile.....)

[Verginius Rufus]

The original building was built by Agrippa in the period 27-25 B.C.—the inscription on the exterior still has his name: M. AGRIPPA COS. TER FECIT (Marcus Agrippa, consul for the third time, made [this]). But the dome dates from the reign of the Emperor Hadrian (A.D. 117-138).
