Njengoba sinikezwe lesi sigaba esiphathelene nethempeli lamaRoma elaziwa ngokuthi iPantheon, ngitshele ukuthi siyazi yini ngempela ukuthi kungani ithempeli lalibizwa ngokuthi iPantheon.
Context:Igama elithi "Pantheon" livela kwelesiGreki Esidala elithi "Pantheion" elisho "konkulunkulu bonke, okuhlobene nabo, noma okuvamile kubo bonke onkulunkulu". UCassius Dio, ilungu lesigele lamaRoma elalibhala ngesiGreki, wacabanga ukuthi leli gama livela ezithombeni zabonkulunkulu abaningi ezibekwe eduze kwalesi sakhiwo, noma ngenxa yokufana kwesakhiwo namazulu. Ukungaqiniseki kwakhe kusikisela ngokuqinile ukuthi "iPantheon" (noma iPantheum) kwakuyigama nje, hhayi igama elisemthethweni lesakhiwo. Eqinisweni, umqondo wokuthi kunonkulunkulu ozinikele kubo bonke onkulunkulu ungabazekayo. Okuwukuphela kwethempeli eliyingqayizivele elibhalwe ngaphambi kwelika-Agripha elalise-Antiyokiya eSiriya, nakuba kukhulunywa ngalo kuphela emthonjeni wekhulu lesithupha leminyaka. UZiegler wazama ukuqoqa ubufakazi bokuthi kwakukhona onkulunkulu abaningi, kodwa uhlu lwakhe luqukethe ukuzinikela okulula "kubo bonke onkulunkulu" noma "kubo bonke onkulunkulu abayishumi nambili", okungebona onkulunkulu beqiniso ngomqondo wethempeli elinenkolo ekhulekela bonke onkulunkulu ngokoqobo.
Asazi ukuthi kungani leli thempeli lalibizwa ngokuthi iPantheon. Ngisho noCassius Dio, isishayamthetho saseRoma okwakufanele sibe nomongo ongcono ngokwemvelo wokuphila nokubusa emphakathini wamaRoma, wakwazi kuphela ukuqagela ukuthi leli gama lavela kuphi.
