    The exedrae of the Forum of Augustus matching the rotunda of the Pantheon is a fascinating detail.

    yeah big solid bronze doors :) I believe under the portico you had a table where you have to pay temple fee. And the doors where open you could see a wooden room divider with tables on both sides for oil lamps and gifts :) linen banners with collars : yellow green red deep purple :)

    I wonder what sort of emperor, oops! I mean "princeps" Marcus Agrippa would have been?
    I believe he was in the succession at one time, but for his pre-deceasing Augustus.
    The ever active, peripatetic Hadrian certainly was a man with the confidence to leave the inscription "Marcus Agrippa....built this" above the entry. A lesser ruler may well have removed the Agrippa reference.
    I believe Hadrian's massive tomb is also visible in Rome?
    The man was a builder!
    A temple to the gods. A mausoleum, a very long wall way up north.
    Hadrian remains my "favorite" of all the many emperors of Rome.
    His fertile, ever active mind is neatly detailed in Marguerite Yourcenar's "Memoirs of Hadrian".
    Rome continues to fascinate.
    Ave Roma!

    I want to go back in time when they made a apple food offering and when the rotten fruit gave a little snake it was seen as a miracle and a blessing of life. now we just stuck on this prison colony and live in our own past without giving fruits. The innocents of the early days are long gone. no comprehension how the ancient spirit of Rome made all this beautiful art work. from mud bricks to a decorated stone palace with the finest colorful curtains and Persian rugs for the people. 😁☺😌🤫

  • @Balthazare69
    @Balthazare69 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I've always wondered why that columned front of the pantheon seems lower than maybe it should be, since the roof is lower than that part of the facade, it kind of doesn't fit aesthetically. Is it intentional or did they not have tall enough columns, which doesn't really make sense to me, since the Romans were excellent builders?

    • @kevin02mulder
      @kevin02mulder 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      looks good to me ? the portico is Hellenistic has a symbolic meaning for house of god.

    • @sotony7483
      @sotony7483 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      The portico columns are monolithic columns from Egypt and are exactly 10 roman feet shorter (40 roman feet) than intended by the architect (50 roman feet), as can be seen clearly from the surface where the portico should have attached at the top of the second string course on the rotunda, not awkwardly inbetween first and second. You can see this dramatically in the first couple of minutes of the video. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding when the columns were ordered, or the quarries couldn't supply 50 foot columns, or they were lost in transit and shorter ones substituted. The full size columns would have fit proper classical proportions and done the intended job much better of hiding the rotunda from the front, for greater visual effect when entering the building. The architect must have wept and one can only imagine what Hadrian might have thought.

      The roof was wooden and if that burned, that collapsing and intense heat would eventually bring down some of the walls. When it happens twice in 20 years, you change the plan and buld a concrete dome roof that lasts 2000 years.

    Agrippa was the man.🥁 Augustus would not have been Princeps 👑without Agrippa’s talents and loyalty. It’s also kind of awesome how he put Julius Caesar inside his Pantheon: a man that he almost certainly knew. It’s also clear that beyond politics Augustus (and likely Agrippa) was appalled at the savageness of his father/UNCLE’s murder.
