The Pantheon, was built between 118 and 125 AD, by Emperor Hadrian. The reason this Pantheon was built, was because the original one was burned down in 80 AD. The purpose of this Pantheon was to honor the Roman gods. This Pantheon has arches (which is their signature architect) stands on 8 pillars for support. These arches were great for supporting especially the dome interior part of the Pantheon. Lighter materials were put on top of the structure as more of a decor, while the heavier pieces were placed on the bottom for better support. The Romans sure knew how to build such significant things back then!
