[[File:Pantheon Rome.jpg|thumb|The interior, Pantheon, Rome.]]
The '''Pantheon''' is [[Greek]] for "Temple of All Gods," a term used by both Greeks and [[Rome|Romans]] in ancient times. Most commonly, the term "Pantheon" refers to a temple in Rome by the same name. Built in the early [[Roman Republic]], the Temple was rebuilt by Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, under the reign of [[Augustus Caesar]], and features a domed ceiling with a single [[oculus]] (hole) in the very top of the dome. Around the length of the circular chamber stood statutes of the individual polytheistic gods ([[Jupiter (god)]], [[Venus (god)]], etc).
