I was wondering if anyone has the answer to this. Both the Greek and Roman gods were called the Pantheon, which was also a building they were worshipped in. The Greek gods had Mount Olympus as an official home, but where did the Roman gods live?

The building the Pantheon was just the one location in Rome where all of the Roman gods could be worshiped. Many of them resided in different locations, some were said to live inside the temples that were dedicated to them. There have been other tales that they lived in Lombardy or over the "great ocean."

I think you are a little confused, a pantheon is a group of Gods/Goddesses from one culture, i.e. Norse, Greek, Roman, etc.. The Parthenon is a temple in Greece that was dedicated to Athena around the 5th century BC.

Most of the Greek Gods/Goddesses lived on Mount Olympus but others did not. The Roman Gods/Goddesses lived in many different locations.

Different Roman gods lived in different places, not just 1 like the Greek gods

Could you possibly be referring to the Parthenon? A pantheon is a group of gods. Such as the pantheon of norse gods including Odin, Thor... or the pantheon of egyption gods, Ra, Bast, Anubis, etc.

Even during the Empire, the Imperial cult came to be based on the household cult, now interpreted as the cult of the Genius of the Emperor, paterfamilias of the family of all the Romans).
