The '''Pantheon''' was one of [[Rome]]'s oldest and most famous Roman Catholic churches. The word "Pantheon" means "Temple of all the Gods".

==History==
The original Pantheon was built in 31 B.C.E by Marcus Agrippa after the Battle of Actium. In 126 C.E. it was restored to its current form by the Emperor Hadrian, however, retaining Agrippa's original inscription and dedication. The inscription reads ''M·AGRIPPA·L·F·COS·TERTIVM·FECIT'' and the translation to English says: "Marcus Agrippa, son of Lucius, in his third consulate, made this". It was used to commemorate the Roman gods and goddesses originally, but was converted into a church by [[Wikipedia:Pope Boniface IV|Pope Boniface IV]] in 609. Both the name and style of the building have inspired similar churches in Europe, most notably a second Pantheon in [[Paris]], [[France]].
==Database Entry==
''This architectural wonder still stands as the worlds largest unreinforced concrete dome two thousand years after being built. The opening at the dome's centre (known as an Oculus) is the singular source of light for the immense chamber.''
''Constructed in 126 C.E. by Marcus Agrippa as a temple to all the Ancient Roman gods, the Pantheon has since become a beacon of Christianity. The structure has been burned, rebuilt, robbed, modified, torn down and renovated so many times the interior contains a myriad of conflicting icons and symbols. Apparently, most gods had this building constructed in their honour. I, however, recommend worshipping at the modern-day espresso bars surrounding it.''

==Follow The Money==
[[Follow The Money]] was a memory which briefly took place in The Pantheon. The assassin [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio]] climbed the rear of the building and entered through the oculus to assassinate a guard. Then getting dressed in the guards uniform, he set off to find the [[Juan Borgia the Elder|Banker]].

==Trivia==
*The Pantheon is the only major landmark available in the [[Rome]] [[multiplayer]] [[map]] of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]] '' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'', although you cannot go inside or on the rooftop.
*Whether it is day or night, there is always a column of light from the oculus.
*Upon entering the Pantheon, the echoing voice of the [[heralds|herald]] behind the building can be heard.
