History[edit | edit source]
Early origins[edit | edit source]
The original Pantheon was built in 31 BCE by Marcus Agrippa, after the Battle of Actium. In 126 CE, it was restored to its current form by the Emperor Hadrian, however, it retained Agrippa's original inscription and dedication.[1] The inscription reads "M·AGRIPPA·L·F·COS·TERTIVM·FECIT" which translates to: "Marcus Agrippa, son of Lucius, in his third consulate, made this."[2]
Originally, the Pantheon was used to commemorate the Roman gods and goddesses, but it was converted into a church by Pope Boniface IV in 609. Both the name and style of the building have inspired similar churches in Europe, most notably a second Panthéon in Paris, France.[2]
Renaissance[edit | edit source]
During the Renaissance, the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze climbed the rear of the building and entered through the landmark's oculus to assassinate a guard captain named Luigi Torcelli. This allowed him to disguise himself in the guard's uniform, before he set off to find "the Banker." Also, during his time in Rome, Ezio purchased the Pantheon as a landmark.[3]
