Compare And Contrast Parthenon And Pantheon

Greek culture influenced the Roman Empire and many other cultures, including the Western Civilization. Greek culture influenced the Olympic Games, books, movies and many other objects in the Western Civilization which shows without it, there would not be some advancements there is today. Roman culture used Greek culture and religion as a foundation. For example, the Roman gods there are today are the same as Greeks gods, but named differently. If comparisons were made between the Greek and Roman gods and goddesses, Zeus would be Jupiter, Poseidon would be

Pantheon located in Rome, Italy is the most well conserved architectural structure of the Roman period. Pantheon, initially a roman sanctuary worked to committed to every one of the divine beings, however in 609AD., it was transformed into a congregation and stays as it. Initially worked by Agrippa around 27BC under Augustus' lead however it was caught fire during 80D, under Emperor Domitian's care then build it again, yet was struck by lightning and burned down again in 110AD. The present Pantheon was worked in 120AD and finished by Emperor Hadrian alongside Apollodorus of Damascus. (Hannah and Magli 2011)

Classical Greece and Rome are two main cultures in European history, they both influenced today's society tremendously through their similarities and differences. Some of their similarities and differences included how they ran their government, how they expressed themselves through art, and what they believed for a religion.

The Pantheon is one of the most preserved Roman temples. Finished in 125 CE by Roman emperor Hadrian, the Pantheon is one of the oldest standing structures in Rome today. This is not the first pantheon built, during Augustus reign Marcus Agrippa built the original building in 27 BCE destroyed by fire; It was rebuild again in 80 CE and was stuck by lighting and burned down. The Pantheon was first built as a temple to tribute all gods. Pantheon means to “ honor all gods”. In the pantheon tomb are renaissance painter Rafael and Maria Bibbiena his fiancée. The cult of the emperor combined religious and political elements and was vital factor in Roman military and civil administration. The purpose of this building is not really known but the

There is a pretty extensive history of this building. From who built it to how many times this building was rebuilt because of destruction. The building is said to be a former Roman temple, but now a church, Rome, Italy, on the same site of an earlier temple commissioned by Marcus Agrippa. (Wikipedia) The building we see today was completed by the emperor Hadrian and most likely dedicated about 126 A.D. During the aftermath of the Battle of Actium Marcus Agrippa made an impressive building program. The Pantheon was just a part of his

The Pantheon was a roman temple that was dedicated to the Gods. It was actually the only ancient building that remains intact, and at this present time it is a Catholic Church. The Pantheon has a huge hole at the very top of it, where the sun could light the inside of it. This 27 inch hole also helped with the engineering problems with weight as well. Personally, what I found to be interesting is that right behind the holiday of Christmas, Halloween time brings in ten billion dollars of revenue each year, and that there is a relationship between Halloween and the Pantheothon. Also, in 609 the Byzantine Emperor Phocas gave the Pantheon to Pope Boniface IV, who ended up dedicating it to St. Mary and all the Christian martyrs. Which, this came

The Pantheon deduces its name from Greek word meaning “All the gods of a religion”. The Pantheon was originally constructed as a famous temple in Rome which was devoted to all the gods of Ancient Rome. It is the best preserved building from Ancient Rome and was completed by 125 CE. Its magnificent dome is a living testimony to the genius of the Roman architects and as the building still remain undamaged, it offers a unique chance for the modern boulevardier to step back 2000 years and experience the glory that was Rome.

This paper will compare the architecture, history, art theme, religion and the location behind the two buildings: The Pantheon, and San Vitale. Overview: The Pantheon was built in Rome, Italy during the reign of Augustus (27 BCE - 14 CE). It is a religious building dedicated to all gods, which is the meaning of its name.

On the facade of the Pantheon, there are words inscribed in latin that in English read “Marcus Agrippa son of Lucius, having been consul three times made it.” This was a dedication to commander Marcus Agrippa who had built the original Pantheon. Below the main inscription is a smaller one indicating the restorations carried out by Septimius, Severus and Caracalla in 202 CE and reads, “with every refinement they restored the Pantheon, worn by age” (translated to english).Though in my journey to the inside, it was interesting that the inside of the Pantheon looked nicer than the outside and that this was indeed done deliberately . What I was most impressed by what they layout of the circular part of the building which is entranced via two bronze doors and the interior is further lightened by five rings of 28 coffers which reduce in size as they rise towards the center of the dome. Presently, the Pantheon is used as a church which is what is was being used for since 608 A.D. Masses are held there every Sunday. It also

It is reasonable enough to say that the Altar of Zeus was an architectural transition from the previous model of Parthenon for that they were built with many similarities yet distinguished in noticeable details. The artistic transition from the Parthenon to the Altar of Zeus represent the evolution from disciplined Athenian to a more dramatic Hellenistic culture, because of the uncontrollable instability of the later 2nd century B.C.E.

The Parthenon and the Pantheon feels like they are the same thing, except that it is spelled differently. In reality, they are two different buildings in two different countries. I actually made a mistake thinking that the Parthenon was the Pantheon and vice versa. The Parthenon is in Greece which follows Greek art in that time. The Pantheon is in Italy, and was a building created by the Roman Empire. Unfortunately, the Parthenon is in ruins because it hasn’t been recently used. The Pantheon has been in use for nearly 2,000 years, so it still looks magnificent even until now. There are many other differences and similarities between these two buildings, which I will explain in this paper.

Roman culture originated a lot from Greek culture. Everything including Greek gods, temples, art and architecture, drama and poetry all provided a start for Roman synthesis, creativity and innovation. Although they are both called Classical periods together, they still possess many different similarities and differences. Regarding art, Greek art is considered superior to the imitative or decorative Roman art. It is often pointed out that the goal of the classical Greek sculptors was to produce an ideal artistic form, whereas the goal of Roman artists was to produce realistic portraits, often for decoration. Much Greek art adorned utilitarian objects, just as Roman art adorned the living spaces. We typically associate sculptures like the Venus

Finally, as early stage of understanding art history, I myself feel that Parthenon and Pantheon have help my changed of thought to ancient Greece and Roman cultures. Both architectural building has similarities in term of initial function and number of columns in front of the entrance. Some of different that the building is Pantheon for serving many gods, while Parthenon for one god only, Athena; and Parthenon is a rectangular form, while Pantheon is built in a spherical

A temple is “an edifice or place dedicated to the service or worship of a deity or deities.” (Dictionary.com, 2017). They date as far back as 6th century and can be found around the globe today. Greek and Roman architecture are known for their detail, design, and beautiful history. Over the years these architectural particulars have been borrowed into modern designs. Some modern buildings that have use these design details, include places of worships. The Parthenon and the Pantheon are both temples that have many similarities and differences, but come from two different nations.

The Pantheon of Rome was covered with a veneer of white marble and bronze. It features a portico with eight Corinthian columns. A portico was a porch leading to the entrance. The Pantheon has a nineteen foot thick Rotunda. Rotunda
