This present day structure was built during the reign of the Emperor Hadrian.The inscription, which can be seen on the front of this re-built Pantheon, was taken directly from the original: “M AGGRIPA L F COS TERTIVM FECIT” Translated means: “Made by Marcus Agrippa, son of Lucius, in his third consulship”
The model is made of plaster with additional detail in white metal and etched brass.
The interior of the building has also been modelled showing the oculus and coffered ceiling. To enable this to be enjoyed the model is hinged so the model can be opened to reveal its glory. (I am sure Mr Faberge would approve!)
The film “how your model was made” on this website features the making of the Pantheon model, and is well worth viewing, and most certainly does a better job of illustrating the beauty of this model than my meagre words.
