What are the similarities between the Pantheon and the Roman Empire?

Answer 1

The Parthenon and the Pantheon are two different buildings.

The Parthenon is a rectangular building, built by the ancient Greeks. It is located Athens, Greece.

The Pantheon is a round building with a square front. It was built by the Ancient Romans, It is located in Rome.

Parthenon has Doric columns, which are simple columns with rounded top.

Pantheon has Corinthian style columns, which have fancy flowers or images at the top of the columns.

Both were used for Religious purposes but to pay tribute to different gods. The Parthenon was created to honor the Greek god Athena. At one time a statue of Athena was placed inside. The Parthenon was built to honor the highest god in Roman Mythology, Jupiter.

They were both reused many times throughout history for different purposes. Both were used as a model for American architecture.

Answer 3

None. Pantheon meant temple of all gods; that is, it was a temple consacrated to all gods, not just one. The most famous of these temples was the Pantheon in Rome, built by Agrippa in the early first century AD

Answer 4

The Romans modelled their porticoes and most of their temples on those of the Greeks. They adopted the three Greek orders (styles) for building columns: Doric, Ionian and Corinthian. They also introduced the composite order, which combined elements of two orders.The Romans also built temples which were different from those of the Greeks. They were circular and had a dome. The dome was also used domes for some of their bath houses and palaces. The housed of the rich adopted the peristyle (an enclosed garden) of the houses of the rich in Greece.

Apart from the elements mentioned above, Roman architecture was very different from that of the Greeks. The Romans effected what historians call the Roman architectural revolution or concrete revolution. This involved the extensive use of concrete, the barrel (simple) arch and the vaulted arch. These three elements enabled the Romans to go beyond Greek methods of construction which used cut-stone and post-and-beam or post-and-lintel structures. They became essential for large roofs and large buildings, such as basilicas (public buildings) amphitheatres (arenas), theatres, baths, circuses (racing tracks), domes, forts and fortifications and dams. They also made it possible to build bridges which were much longer than before and could cross much wider rivers and valleys.

Prior to the Romans concrete was hardly used. The Romans the first to made large scale use of it. They developed a type of concrete (opus caementicium) which was as resistant as modern concrete. It also set underwater and therefore could be used to build docks for ports, dams and bridges. It was less fluid than modern concrete and had to be layered by hand. It was made by mixing a volcanic rock called pozzolana (which is named after Pozzuoli, a suburb of Naples) with lime and adding rubble from stones, bricks or pottery shreds as aggregates which added body to it. Concrete had technical and practical advantages. It was exceptionally strong and could span great distances when shaped into arches, vaults and domes as it could be moulded. It was layered into a formwork and it took the shape of its container. It did not require skilled labour and therefore was cheaper. It was much faster for construction than laborious masonry walls. It was safer because concrete vaulted roofing was fireproof, unlike the wooden-beamed roofs of traditional post-and-lintel construction methods.

The potential of the previously very little used arch and vault, was fully exploited for the first time. The Romans were the first to fully appreciate the advantage of these structures and make large scale use of them. The Etruscans are thought to have invented the simple (barrel) arch. The oldest example of the vaulted arch has been found in the Greek city of Pergamon (in western Turkey). The (simple, barrel) arch has a strong load- bearing capacity and was useful to build large walls without using the post-and-lintel method and to build bridges which were much longer than ever before. The vault (vaulted arch) has an even greater load-bearing capacity and its structure is suited to support large roofs. Their construction in concrete made them easier to build and even stronger. This led to the use larger and monumental arches and vaults on a grand scale. However, the Romans did not abandon masonry arches and vaults. The vaulted arch came into two forms: the groin arch is formed by two to four intersecting barrel (simple) arches and the rib arch, where the intersecting arches were of different diameter. .
