There are several buildings called Pantheon. The word translates as All Gods.
If you are talking about the existing massive one in Rome, it has niches for seven statues (long disappeared). This plus the cupola representing the sky indicates it was for the seven 'planets' that the Romans knew of at the time (including the sun and the moon). So the All Gods were the planetary ones. One niche has a more prominent pedistal, so it was likely for Juppiter Optimus Maximus (Jupiter Best and Greatest).

∙ 14y agoThe first Empire of Rome, Augustus, one of his generals, a man named Agrippa built a temple in the middle of Rome in 10BC. The temple was called The Pantheon meaning Pan= all and theon= of the gods. (to all the gods).
In 80AD the original temple was burned down in a fire. But the temple was rebuilt but then that one burned down too. The next temple was built by Hadrian in 120AD. It still exists today.
Hadrian left a message on top of the door to honour Agrippa's idea of building such a breathtaking temple.
