Walking through Rome and suddenly stepping onto Piazza della Rotonda to see the Pantheon in all its ancient glory is an unforgettable experience. First, you will note the domed ceiling, then the columns, and near the top of the Pantheon you will see some old writing.

There is some complex history around the Latin words on the monument but they are simple to translate. The inscription on the Pantheon says “Marcus Agrippa, the son of Lucius, three times consul, built this.”
