The Pantheon, also known as the Pantheon and the Pantheon, is the only fully preserved Roman Empire-era building in the world.
This world-famous temple was built from 27 to 25 BC by Agrippa, the son-in-law of Octavian, the first emperor of the Roman Empire. It is a classic of the Augustus period. architecture.
The original purpose of the Roman Empire in building this temple was to worship the gods on Mount Olympia, and it contained sculptures of Roman gods.
But later, this temple also began to enshrine humans, such as Caesar the Great and other legendary figures and great commanders in Roman history.
In 80 AD, a fire destroyed most of the temple's buildings, leaving only a rectangular colonnade with sixteen granite columns 12.5 meters high.
Later, this part became the reconstructed porch of the Pantheon. The top of the porch was engraved with commemorative words from the initial construction period. The original scale of the Pantheon can still be seen from the eight huge columns on the front of the porch.
The Pantheon, built in 27 BC and rebuilt in 120 AD, was once praised as the "design of an angel" by Michelangelo, the top art master of the Renaissance.
In the history of architecture, the Pantheon can be regarded as a model of ancient Roman architecture and has a very important historical position.
And it is also a very important work of art in itself, faithfully reflecting the exquisite architectural technology and architectural art of the ancient Roman period!
Today, the Pantheon has become one of the symbols of Rome, the Eternal City, and one of the must-see attractions when traveling to Rome, attracting countless tourists from all over the world every day.
Ye Tian and the others are no exception. Since they have arrived in Rome, they cannot miss the famous Pantheon, otherwise it would be a pity.
At around 3:15 in the afternoon, Ye Tian and his convoy drove from a distance and arrived at a relatively wide street on the west side of the Pantheon.
Because the parking spaces around the Pantheon are limited and already occupied by vehicles, Cole and the others can only park on this street on the west side of the Pantheon, park the car here, and then walk to the Pantheon.
When the motorcade stopped on the street, Cole led a group of security personnel to get out of the car first. They quickly checked the scene and made sure it was safe before notifying Ye Tian and Betty that they got off the car.
Then, Ye Tian reached out to open the car door, took Betty out of the car, and stood on this ancient street.
As soon as they appeared, they immediately attracted a lot of attention and caused a commotion.
"I'll go! It's that guy Steven. No wonder it's such a big scene. This guy's appearance is always so high-profile and flamboyant! But it's also extremely enviable!"
“No need to ask, this guy Steven is here to visit the Pantheon. This is not good news. Wherever this guy appears, there will be constant turmoil!
For my own safety, I decided to withdraw. I will not visit the Pantheon for the time being. I will go to other places first. When Steven leaves, I will come to the Pantheon again! "
While people were talking about it, Ye Tian quickly scanned the street and thoroughly examined the pedestrians and tourists on the street, as well as the buildings on both sides of the street.
Except for seven or eight thieves and swindlers, he found no danger on this street. There were no hidden gunmen in the flow of people on the street or in the ancient buildings on both sides.
Of course, there are a lot of guys with guns here.
These guys are either Roman policemen on patrol, or Ye Tian's own men, security personnel disguised as tourists and mixed in with the crowd.
In the blink of an eye, he knew the situation on this street very well.
Immediately afterwards, he smiled and nodded gently to the pedestrians and tourists around him, which was regarded as a hello, and he behaved very appropriately.
Then he looked at the ancient Renaissance-style buildings on both sides of the street with admiration, and explained them to Betty and the others in a low voice.
Because of the rows of ancient buildings on the east side of the street, standing on this street, you cannot see the Pantheon so close at hand.
Even though the Pantheon is only a street away from here, it is only a few dozen meters away!
Soon, all the vehicles were parked, and Cole made proper arrangements. Except for the security personnel who stayed here to guard the vehicles, everyone else came around Ye Tian and Betty.
When everyone gathered, Ye Tian and the others stepped out, laughing and chatting, admiring the historical buildings built in various eras on both sides of the street, and strolled towards the Pantheon not far away.
Behind and around them, many security personnel were spread out and took their positions, building two strong lines of defense inside and outside to protect Ye Tian and the others.
In the surrounding crowd, there are also many security personnel disguised as tourists, keeping a close eye on the situation in the crowd, ready to issue early warning or provide support at any time.
The Roman police and the cultural relics gendarme followed closely, scattered in front, back, left and right, keeping a close eye on Ye Tian and the others and the surrounding situation, always in a state of high vigilance.
Of course, there are also those media reporters who are worried about the world being in chaos. They are also following closely behind, their eyes shining with excitement, always looking forward to something big happening.
After walking a few steps forward and turning left into an east-west street, the Pantheon Square appeared not far ahead.
Looking across the roofs of many ancient buildings on the right side of the street, everyone can already see the corner of the famous dome of the Pantheon and the cross on top of the obelisk in the square in front of the temple.
Seeing this scene, a look of excitement immediately flashed across Ye Tian's and his others' faces, and everyone's steps became much brisker without realizing it.
While talking, everyone had already walked through this ancient east-west street and arrived at the edge of Pantheon Square.
The moment we walked out of the street, the obelisk fountain in the center of the square broke into everyone's sight.
The next thing that broke into everyone's field of vision was the tall, majestic, simple and solemn Pantheon, which had stood in the wind and rain for more than two thousand years.
Of course, there are also the densely packed squares with tourists from all over the world, as well as the historical buildings of different styles and built in various eras around the square.
Same as before, the appearance of Ye Tian and the others immediately attracted countless attention, and soon caused a commotion, followed by a buzzing discussion.
Ye Tian turned a blind eye to all this.
After standing at the street corner and admiring the Obelisk Fountain in the center of the square and the Pantheon further away from a distance, he then smiled and said to the people around him:
"Let's go, guys, let's visit the residences of the Roman gods, the statue of Julius Caesar, and the tomb of Raphael, and have a conversation with these great historical figures!"
After saying that, he took Betty out and walked towards the obelisk fountain in the center of the square.
Anderson and the others followed closely behind, everyone was extremely excited and full of expectations.
Seeing them approaching, many tourists in the square immediately ducked to both sides and opened a straight passage, especially the thieves entrenched in the square, who could dodge faster than anyone else!
They are afraid that if they move too slowly, they will be beaten up by these vicious guys. That would be too uneconomical!
Now everyone knows that the Casamonica family, the kings of the Roman underworld, are no match for these American bastards, let alone thieves like themselves who cannot stand on the stage.
In just a moment, Ye Tian and the others had arrived in front of the obelisk fountain and began to admire the auxiliary building of the Pantheon.
The location of this obelisk is the original vestibule of the Pantheon. After the Pantheon suffered a fire in AD 80, the vestibule here was completely burned!
Since then, it has become part of the square.
Later Roman rulers brought a tall obelisk from Egypt and built a fountain here, which became a scene in Rome.
On the base of this obelisk fountain, there are scenes from ancient Roman mythology carved with exquisite carving skills. It is a top-notch work of art from the hands of ancient carving masters!
While admiring the obelisk fountain, Ye Tian was also explaining it to Betty and the others so that they could better appreciate this group of sculptures.
“Look here, everyone, this is Jupiter, which corresponds to Zeus in ancient Greek mythology. He is the king of gods who rules over the divine realm and the mortal world in Roman mythology, the ancient sky god, the **** of light and law.
Jupiter is the head of the twelve main gods of Rome. During the ancient Roman period, he was revered as the patron saint of the Latin Union. There is a statue of Jupiter in the Pantheon, but it is a later sculpture... …"
