"The Pantheon in Rome is one of the grand architectural statements of all ages. Built by Hadrian in 117, this temple ranks as an archetype, along with Cheops's pyramid, the Parthenon, Wren's churches, and Mansard's palaces. In this richly illustrated book, William MacDonald analyzes the original design and construction of the Pantheon, discusses the technology that made it possible, and explores its metaphorical meaning."--Jacket.
