Philip BarlagGUEST
You get to squint, and that's what's great about finding places where there's just enough intact from the ancient world to help you remember what the rest of it looked like.
Philip BarlagGUEST
That's the Pantheon for me.
Philip BarlagGUEST
You go in the Pantheon, you look at the floor-
Rick StevesHOST
Yeah
Philip BarlagGUEST
... and then you realize every building looked like this.

Rick StevesHOST
Is that right?
Philip BarlagGUEST
Yes.
Philip BarlagGUEST
Uh, the Pantheon's the, the most notable example.
JTHOST
So St. Peter's.
JTHOST
And when he was talking about like the design for it, they said he was talking about the Pantheon in Rome.
JTHOST
And he says that this was not built by humans.
JTHOST
This was built by angels, the dome and the Pantheon.
JakeGUEST
I believe it.
JakeGUEST
So that's what he said.
Irenaeus DunlevyGUEST
And this is particularly evident in works of sacred architecture.
Irenaeus DunlevyGUEST
So the Pantheon in Rome.
Irenaeus DunlevyGUEST
So here's God as architect.
Irenaeus DunlevyGUEST
He's kind of designing creation.
Irenaeus DunlevyGUEST
And that's indicating that the architect then is kind of representing it.
Irenaeus DunlevyGUEST
So here's the Pantheon.
Irenaeus DunlevyGUEST
I'm just curious, have any of you been there? Have you seen the

Pantheon? Okay.
PeterNARRATOR
Certo, hanno avuto mani umane che li hanno riparati continuamente.
PeterNARRATOR
Alcuni sono ancora più antichi, come il Pantheon a Roma, in piedi da 1.900 anni.
PeterNARRATOR
È un caso eccezionale, progettato con un tipo speciale di calcestruzzo romano autoriparante.
PeterNARRATOR
Ma senza la supervisione umana, anche queste meraviglie dell'ingegneria subiranno le intemperie, si imbarcheranno e alla fine crolleranno.
PeterNARRATOR
Dopo 1.000 anni ogni grande cattedrale e monumento alla fine crollerà.
PeterNARRATOR
La statua della libertà giacerà spezzata.
PeterNARRATOR
Persino le colonne del Pantheon si sbricioleranno, con la sua iconica cupola che si creperà e si frantumerà nella polvere.
PeterNARRATOR
Gli skyline delle città saranno scomparsi.
Dan SnowNARRATOR
And part of that Augustan legacy still stands today.
Dan SnowNARRATOR
The Pantheon, built by his right-hand man, Marcus Agrippa, as a temple for all the gods of Rome, exudes a sleek, muscular authority.
Dan SnowNARRATOR
This was a building fit for a city that was taking on the headship of the world.
Dan SnowNARRATOR
Under Augustus, Rome's history was rewritten.
Austin FalterGUEST
And so the circle has, since ancient times, been a representation of that.
Austin FalterGUEST
I had the privilege to go to the Pantheon this last year, and on the ground, the ground is original from the time of Christ.
Austin FalterGUEST
It's amazing.
Austin FalterGUEST
So this is
Dave ButlerGUEST
an old Roman temple originally in Rome.
Dave ButlerGUEST
Right.
Austin FalterGUEST
And what's interesting about the Pantheon is it was not a temple to Zeus or a temple to Demeter or whatever.
Austin FalterGUEST
It was a temple to all the gods.
RyanHOST
This is where their cruise leaves.
RyanHOST
But they fly in and they basically have half a day to explore some of the key sites of Rome that were staying right down central, you know, close to Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, the Pantheon, all that stuff.
RyanHOST
Then the next morning before they drive down for their cruise, they're doing a Vatican tour first thing in the morning before the crowds kind of do it.
RyanHOST
So they're going to get all of their Vatican sightseeing in.
Robert HarrisGUEST
Uh, he won the Battle of Actium against Antony and Cleopatra, a naval battle which he commanded, which is one of the most decisive battles in the history of the world.
Robert HarrisGUEST
He built the Pantheon in Rome and, uh, aqueducts.
Robert HarrisGUEST
He was a hugely consequential figure.
Robert HarrisGUEST
W-we know a lot about what he did because of the public record, but we know nothing about him as a person.

Robert HarrisGUEST
Yes
Matt ChorleyHOST
... on the front of Roman buildings.
Matt ChorleyHOST
It is o- even on the front of the, the, uh, the Pantheon.
Matt ChorleyHOST
Um, and that, that sense of, of getting things done, building things is sort of...
Lawrence GinangeliHOST
Raphael, when he died, was at the absolute height of his career, and he was only 37 years old.
Lawrence GinangeliHOST
Today, he is buried in the Pantheon in Rome.
Lawrence GinangeliHOST
five days after Raphael, Agostino Chigi died and was met with all of the pomp and funerary festivities of one of Rome's wealthiest citizens.
Lawrence GinangeliHOST
Raphael's death paved the way for the rise of Giulio Romano, who would go off to produce most of his masterworks in the court of Mantua as the history of Rome grows dark, approaching the brutal 1527 sack of Rome and the upcoming Protestant Reformation.
JackieGUEST
And it's this cute spot with this delightful, we had the best waiter, just packed tables on a little patio, amazing food.
JackieGUEST
And it was like a short walk to the Pantheon.
JackieGUEST
So that's what we did that night.
Kelsey GravesHOST
Awesome.
