Pantheon of Rome: A Celestial Geometry at Work: The AD Quadratum Geometric and Conceptual Analysis of the Architectural Structure of the Supreme Monument

The present research is a specialized chapter from a multilateral series of studies under the general title The Archaeology of Architectural Design. Within this context, the analysis of the architectural structure of the Bent Pyramid of Sneferu is already published, available at Academia.edu/DVilouras under the title Egypt in the Shadow of the Followers of Horus II, where (pp.7-14; 38-44) the establishment of the Quadrangular geometric sequence based on the “Eight-pointed Solar symbol named Dingir - Deus” is presented, and reference is made to its intercultural dissemination. A further step was the painstaking architectural analysis of the great Athenian Temple, which has been published in the same website with title Parthenon: The realization of the absolute in the context of an Enlightened Ancient Greek Architecture. In the introduction to the research on the architectural structure of the Roman Pantheon, reference is made to the philosophical background that motivated and led its architect(s) to adopt an absolutely innovative form, which was to change the then dominant Classical visual/expressive standard leading it to a new Romantic version. During its original elaboration – with the obvious aim of constructing a temple-calendar which would portray the state of Heaven in its annual rotation – its designers managed to transform it to an artificial Universe structured on a complete system of numbers. This very arithmetic-geometric system of the architectural structure of the Pantheon is recorded by the present research, the logic of which is simple: IF, in the ideal analysis of the monument that follows, the resulting dimensions and other details of its members are identical to those resulting after on-site measurements listed by third parties, THEN, this was its exact original design. Any substantiated objection to it will be favorably received.
