A pantheon was a temple dedicated to all deities. Normally, temples were dedicated to one or two gods or, rarely, three gods. A pantheon, instead, was dedicated to the all deities. The word is Greek and combines pan (all) and theon (of or for all the gods) which meant a temple of/for all the gods.
The Greeks built pantheons and the Romans built pantheons throughout the Roman Empire.
