View of the Pantheon ~ Giovanni Battista Piranesi 1756
The famous inscription M. AGRIPPA. L. F. COS. TERTIVM. FECIT is clear in Piranesi’s etching.
‘Marcus Agrippa, son of Lucius, built this [when] consul for the third time’.
Feels like there are endless details in this building.
Working on releasing an interactive experience so that many people can experience the richness of these details for themselves.
Will be especially nice for those people who are not able to visit Rome on person.
@pantheonstudy That would be great. I have collected a few from the web. But I've never seen some of the details you've posted. E.g. the marble threshold.
@pantheonstudy@pantheon_roma My visit to the Pantheon in 2006 inspired me years later to recreate the building virtually 14 years later:

Fun fact I learned while visiting the Pantheon in Rome - the interior dome has five concentric rows of 28 square coffers: 28 is an example of a “perfect number” because the sum of the factors equals the number itself. #Elemmathchat#MtHolyokeMath
