The Pantheon in Rome

The Bern Digital Pantheon Project was officially launched at an international conference that was held in November 2006 on the first anniversary of the new Institute of Archaeology. Forty leading Pantheon experts accepted the invitation to gather in the Swiss capital. Archaeologists, architectural historians, art historians, historians of science and engineers presented and discussed new insights about the Pantheon in an exceptionally open and stimulating atmosphere. The conference resulted in an exciting reappraisal of hitherto accepted views, presented new approaches and laid new foundations on which further Pantheon research will be built. This volume documents, therefore, the current state of research on the Pantheon.
