Editor's Notes

  1. - Placed in seven splendid niches between two Corinthian columns the used to be the seven gods linked to the worship of planets, or considered to be such: the Sun, the Moon, Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, Mercury and Mars. With the advent of Christianity, some of them were used for small altars dedicated to Christian Martyrs.
  2. - The columns were transported by wooden sledges to the Nile, barged to Alexandria, and put on vessels for a trip across the Mediterranean to the port of Ostia. From there the columns came up the Tiber by barge.
  3. - The base was mostly built with basalt, top pumice
  4. Holes may still be seen where the clamps which held the sculpture in place were fixed.
  5. -The Roman Pantheon seems to exist independent of religious rule - more a tribute to the past than any specific spiritual figures.
