The Pantheon
Rome’s Eternal Show-Off

by Histoury Inc.

History of the The Pantheon

In a city bursting at the seams with ancient wonders, few landmarks manage to stop visitors dead in their tracks quite like The Pantheon. It’s bold, it’s beautiful, it’s got a hole in the ceiling, and it’s been standing for nearly 2,000 years without a single architect saying, “Oops.”

From pagan gods to Christian saints, Renaissance kings to coffee-sipping tourists, The Pantheon has seen it all. And unlike many of its crumbling cousins, it’s still intact; roof, columns, and dome all included. So how did this ancient diva of architecture earn such legendary status?

Let’s step inside.

Not Just Another Roman Ruin

First, a bit of a twist: the current Pantheon isn’t the original. It’s actually version 3.0.

  • The first Pantheon was built by Marcus Agrippa around 27 BC, under the rule of Augustus. That one burned down.
  • The second version went up around 80 AD and, true to Roman luck, it caught fire too.
  • Then came Hadrian, Rome’s traveling philosopher-emperor. Around 118–125 AD, he built the version we know and love today — tougher, bolder, and apparently fireproof.

Curiously, Hadrian kept the original inscription on the front: “M·AGRIPPA·L·F·COS·TERTIVM·FECIT”, meaning “Marcus Agrippa, son of Lucius, made this building when consul for the third time.” Classic Hadrian, letting Agrippa take the credit while dropping the architectural mic from the background.
