It’s my dream to travel to Europe to see Greek and Roman ruins/preserved buildings. I find it absolutely fascinating, especially coming from a relatively young country with our oldest buildings less than 200 years old.

How great was the construction, that the Parthenon survived the Medieval Ages, the Sack of Rome, the Second World War, and it's still satanding to this day.

Less known (but not least!) are the ones of Assisi (so called Temple of Minerva) and Temple of Hadrian in Rome (nowadays the Bourse) which present a massive colonnade. There was also a huge temple in Bordeaux, Les Piliers de Tutelle, unfortunately destroyed in 1677

Just think there was thousands of temples like this all over the empire, plus hundreds of Greek temples before that. Now there’s only a couple of dozen left. Obviously they got vandalised at the end of paganism, but also their exotic building materials meant they were ripe for plunder.

The Pantheon was likely a building for all gods to be worshipped in when needed. As we see Ancient Romans did not really have a lot of temples for the gods, so the Pantheon was a place for them to worship all the gods in. Sadly, it was converted into a Christian area, and they removed much of the connection to the gods within it.

Avec la chute de l'Empire romain d'Occident et la forte christianisation en Gaule, le temple est devenu l'église paroissiale de Sainte-Marie-la-Vieille puis Notre-Dame-de-la-Vie jusqu'à la Révolution française. À partir de 1792, l'église devient le temple de la Raison puis le tribunal de commerce de Vienne, ensuite le musée ainsi que la bibliothèque de Vienne (jusqu'en 1852), et enfin, après 28 ans de travaux, l'édifice regagne son aspect primitif de temple romain.

The pantheon most likely glorified the senate, as well as the emperors, since they all thought they were gods, hence the no pupils in the eyes. Pan and Theos...all gods.

Did somebody tell you that speaking in this bizarre fashion would endear you to your public? It doesn't- just speak in a normal voice and you will get more supporters, IMHO
