EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and explore the awe-inspiring interior of Rome's ancient architectural marvel, The Pantheon. Circa 1900s, this photograph transports us to the heart of Italy, where the rich history of the ancient world comes alive. The Pantheon, a former Roman temple, is now a church dedicated to St. Mary and all the martyrs. Its impressive dome, with an oculus or central opening, is a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the ancient Romans. The dome, which is larger than any other in ancient Rome, is made of unreinforced concrete and is still considered an engineering marvel today. As we delve deeper into this magnificent space, our eyes are drawn to the towering Corinthian columns and pillars that line the interior, their fluted surfaces adorned with intricate dentils. The columns, which are made of Travertine limestone, support the weight of the dome and add to the grandeur of the building. The Pantheon's interior is a harmonious blend of classical and round, circular design, with the dome's perfect curvature reflecting the circular floor plan. The light filtering in through the oculus, casting dappled patterns on the marble floor, adds to the ethereal quality of the space. This photograph is a window into the past, offering us a glimpse into the beauty and grandeur of ancient Rome. It is a reminder of the enduring power of architecture and the importance of preserving our cultural heritage for future generations to enjoy and learn from.
