Describe the pantheon

This is a discussion questions assignment, you need reply to these two question and no more than 250 words for each answer. I will also post other student's answer, so you can use them as a sample and also you won't repeat their answer.

Question 1:

The Parthenon vs the Pantheon

These two ancient wonders are great embodiments of the cultural values of the ancient empires that create them. Here I am asking for very specific responses so choose one the following and post a specific answer to the differences between them:

the use of specific types of columns

the purposes

the locale and placement within city

materials used

external design features

internal design features

Let's start with these - read the thread first and don't repeat others - there are lots of fun resources in the course to use including virtual tours, documentaries that you can skim etc!

It was built by the Ancient Romans, It is located in Rome. Parthenon has Doric columns, which are simple columns with rounded top.
