Chapter 1751: Roman gods

The Pantheon, also known as the Pantheon and the Pantheon, is the only Roman Empire building that has been completely preserved in the world.

This world-famous temple was built between 27 and 25 BC by Agrippa, the son-in-law of the first emperor Octavius ​​of the Roman Empire. It is a classic architecture of the Augustus period.

The original purpose of the Roman Empire to build this temple was to enshrine the gods on Mount Olympia, where sculptures of the Roman gods are displayed.

But later, this temple also began to enshrine humans, such as Caesar the Great and other legends and great commanders in Roman history.

In 80 AD, a fire destroyed most of the temple’s buildings, leaving only a rectangular colonnade with sixteen granite pillars measuring 12.5 meters in height.

Later, this part became the rebuilt porch of the Pantheon. The top of the porch was engraved with commemorative characters from the initial construction period. The eight huge columns on the front of the porch can still tell the original scale of the Pantheon.

The Pantheon, built in 27 BC and rebuilt in 120 AD, was once praised as an "angel design" by Michelangelo, the top artist of the Renaissance.

In the history of architecture, the Pantheon is a model of ancient Roman architecture and has a very important historical position.

And it is also a very important work of art, faithfully reflecting the superb architectural technology and architectural art of ancient Rome!

Today, the Pantheon has become one of the symbols of the ‘Eternal City’ of Rome and one of the must-see attractions when visiting Rome. It attracts countless tourists from all over the world every day.

Ye Tian and the others are no exception. Since they have come to Rome, they can't miss the famous Pantheon, otherwise it would be a shame.

At about 3:15 in the afternoon, Ye Tian and his motorcade drove from a distance and came to a relatively wide street on the west side of the Pantheon.

Because the parking spaces around the Pantheon are limited and they are already full of vehicles, Cole and the others can only park on this street on the west side of the Pantheon, park the car here, and walk to the Pantheon.

When the convoy stopped on the street, Cole led a group of security personnel to get off the car first, quickly checked the situation on the scene, and after confirming that it was safe, did he notify Ye Tian and Betty to get off the car.

After that, Ye Tian stretched out his hand to open the car door, took Betty out of the car, and landed on this ancient street.

As soon as they appeared, they immediately attracted a lot of attention and caused a commotion.

"I'm going! It's Steven, it's no wonder that such a big scene, this guy's way of playing is always so high-profile and public! But it is also extremely enviable!"

"Don't ask, this guy Steven is here to visit the Pantheon. This is not good news, but wherever this guy appears, there must be constant disturbances!

For his own safety, the buddies decided to withdraw, not to visit the Pantheon for the time being, first go to other places to see, when Steven leaves, I will come to the Pantheon! "

When people were talking about it, Ye Tian took a quick glance at this street, and thoroughly looked through the pedestrians and tourists on the street, as well as the buildings on both sides of the street.

Except for seven or eight thieves and crooks, he did not find any danger on this street. There were no gunmen hidden in the crowds on the street or in the ancient buildings on both sides.

Of course, there are also many guys who carry guns.

These guys are either Roman policemen on duty or Ye Tian's own security personnel, disguised as tourists and mixed in the crowd.

In a blink of an eye, he knew everything about the street.

Immediately afterwards, he smiled at the pedestrians and tourists around him and nodded gently, which was regarded as a greeting, and he was very decent.

Afterwards, he looked at the ancient Renaissance-style buildings on both sides of the street with admiration, and whispered to Betty and the others.

Because row upon row of ancient buildings on the east side of the street block, standing on this street, you cannot see the Pantheon close at hand.

Even though the Pantheon is only a street away from here, it's only tens of meters away!

Soon, all the vehicles were parked, and Cole also made proper arrangements. Except for the security personnel who stayed here to guard the vehicles, everyone else came to Ye Tian and Betty.

When everyone gathered, Ye Tian and the others stepped out, talking, laughing and chatting, while admiring the historical buildings built in various eras on both sides of the street, and strolling towards the Pantheon not far away.

Before and after them, many security personnel scattered, each according to their positions, building two strong lines of defense inside and outside to protect Ye Tian and the others.

In the surrounding crowd, there are still many security personnel posing as tourists, watching closely the situation in the crowd, ready to issue warnings or provide support at any time.

The Roman police and the cultural relics gendarmerie followed closely, scattered around, staring at Ye Tian and the others, staring at the surrounding situation, always in a state of high alert.

Of course, there are also those media reporters who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic. They are also closely following behind, with excited eyes shining, always looking forward to something big.

After walking a few steps forward, after turning left into an east-west street, the Pantheon Square appeared not far ahead.

Looking over the roofs of many ancient buildings on the right side of the street, everyone can already see the corner of the famous dome of the Pantheon and the cross at the top of the obelisk above the square in front of the temple.

Seeing this scene, Ye Tian's faces immediately flashed with excitement, and everyone's footsteps became much lighter.

While talking, everyone has already walked through this ancient east-west street and came to the edge of the Pantheon Square.

As soon as he walked out of the street, the obelisk fountain in the center of the square broke into everyone's field of vision.

Then, what broke into everyone's field of vision was the tall, majestic, simple and solemn Pantheon that had stood in the wind and rain for more than two thousand years.

Of course, there are also densely packed squares with tourists from all over the world, as well as the historical buildings around the square with different styles and built in various eras.

As before, the appearance of Ye Tian and the others immediately attracted countless attentions, and soon caused a commotion, followed by buzzing discussions.

Ye Tian turned a blind eye to all this.

After standing at the entrance of the street, he admired the Obelisk fountain in the center of the square and the Pantheon further away, then smiled and said to everyone around him:

"Come on, guys, let's visit the residences of the Roman gods, visit the statue of Caesar the Great, and the tomb of Raphael, and have a conversation with these great historical figures!"

After speaking, he took Betty and walked out to the obelisk fountain in the center of the square.

Anderson and the others followed, everyone was extremely excited and full of expectations.

Seeing them coming ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, the many tourists on the square immediately flashed to both sides, giving way to a straight passage, especially those thieves entrenched in this square, flashing faster than anyone else!

They were afraid that their movements would be slow, and it would be uneconomical to be beaten by these fierce and wicked guys!

Everyone knows now that the king of the Roman underground world, the Casa Monica family is not the opponent of these American bastards, not to mention these thieves who can't get on the table.

In just a few moments, Ye Tian and the others had arrived in front of the Obelisk fountain and began to admire the annexes of the Pantheon.

The location of this obelisk was the original vestibule of the Pantheon. After the Pantheon suffered a fire in 80 AD, the vestibule here was completely destroyed!

Since then, it has become a part of the square.

Later, the Roman ruler brought a tall obelisk from Egypt and built a fountain here, which became a scene of Rome.

On the base of this obelisk fountain, there are scenes of ancient Roman mythology carved, and the carving skills are very superb. It is the top art from the hands of ancient masters!

While admiring the obelisk fountain, Ye Tian was also explaining to Betty and the others so that they could better appreciate this group of sculptures.

"Look here, everyone. This is Jupiter. It corresponds to Zeus in ancient Greek mythology. It is the king of gods in Roman mythology who rules the realm and mortal world, the ancient **** of the sky, the **** of light, and the law.

Jupiter is the head of the twelve gods of Rome. In ancient Rome, he was revered as the protector of the Latin Union. There is a statue of Jupiter in the Pantheon, but it is a later sculpture,..."
