rotunda erected by Emperor Hadrian (reigned ad 117–38) in Rome (ad 118–28), with
coffered concrete dome (illuminated by an

temple-front portico attached to the drum outside. Any similar building is known as a Pantheon.
2. Building for the general burial-place of or memorial to the great dead, such as the Panthéon, Paris (formerly
Soufflot's Church of Ste-Geneviève).
