The Pantheon in Rome was commissioned by Marcus Agrippa during the reign of Augustus in 27 BCE, although the structure we see today was rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian around 120 CE after the original was destroyed by fire. Its original function was as a temple dedicated to all the gods of ancient Rome, reflecting the religious and cultural values of the time. The name "Pantheon" itself means "temple of all gods." Today, it serves as a church and a significant historical monument.
