Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall reading about this on this
list before.
An article from 2011, titled "Is Rome’s Pantheon a Giant Sundial?" is
shown at
http://www.history.com/news/is-romes-pantheon-a-giant-sundial
It quotes a book “Time in Antiquity,” by Hannahas saying
“In design terms, a conscious effort was made by the architect and
builders to make the sun do something special in the Pantheon at the
equinoxes,”
The book was reviewed in 2009 here:
