the pantheon that is standing now was built about 118 AD....however it has an inscription on the front about Agrippa, who did originally build a pantheon there, but this was destroyed in a fire, and was also fcing south (the opposite direction to the current pantheon) so i therefore cant see how his pantheon is in any way part of the current one.
I have 2 seperate sources of information (my textbook and my teacher) telling me 2 different things.
the teacher says it was built at 2 seperate dates, with the typical temple front being built first (in the time of agrippa), then the innovative dome being added later.(at thetime of hadrian)
the textbook says the whole design was built at once, when hadrian was in power.
does anyone have any idea which is correct??!?!
please don't answer if you don;t know the answer, or at least let me know if you are usure, because I'm confused enough already!! thankyou!!
