** //__THE ROMAN PANTHEON__// **
==**The Pantheon is the most popular dome in Rome. It is very large and weighs a lot. The Roman Pantheon has an oculus in the middle of it so people inside of it can see the sky. Its look very beautiful and has the most awesome scenery. It is just a lovely building. The only bad thing about the oculus, or eye in the middle, is that when it rains, the whole place has a lot of water in it. **== ==** //__THE BUILDING OF THE PANTHEON__// **== ==**This dome was built from concrete and bricks. Learn more: http://www.historyforkids.org/learn/romans/architecture/pantheon.htm. It was then reinforced with more concrete to make the place stable. If the dome wasn't stable, it would collapse. Because of the oculus, the Pantheon roof had to be covered in like 9 layers of more concrete and bricks. This would be a great ton of weight falling to the floor if layers weren't added. **==

//__THE DOME MAKER__//
==The Pantheon is located in Rome, Italy. It is now the church of Santa Maria and Martyres. It was built by the emperor Marcus Agrippa, son-in-law of the emperor Augustus. It was dedicated for the gods of Mars and Venus. It burned down in AD 80 but was rebuilt by emperor Domitian.== //** __THE PANTHEON GETS REBUILT__ **//

 * // __HOW THE DOMES WERE MADE__ //

The domes were made out of light concrete and pumice stone. The Romans also wanted to make coffers so they could make the domes look better and exaggerate it more than it actually looked. **
