Inside Pantheon, Rome, Italy. It is one of the best preserved ancient Roman buildings in the world.

In Latin Pantheum (from Greek Πάνθειον Pantheion) means "common to all the gods." It was built from an earlier temple commissioned by Marcus Agrippa during the reign of Augustus (27 BC – 14 AD). After a fire, the current building was commissioned by Emperor Hadrian (117-138).

Agrippa finished the construction of the building called the Pantheon. It has this name, perhaps because it received among the images which decorated it the statues of many gods, including Mars and Venus; but my own opinion of the name is that, because of its vaulted roof, it resembles the heavens.  Cassius Dio, History of Rome 53.27.2

Cassius Dio's uncertainty about the name suggests that "Pantheon" was a nickname, not the formal name of the building.

The inscription M·AGRIPPA·L·F·COS·TERTIVM·FECIT means: "Marcus Agrippa, son of Lucius, made [this building] when consul for the third time."

The Arch of Roman emperor Septimius Severus at Leptis Magna, Libya.

Lucius Septimius Severus born in Leptis Magna, Africa, was the first Roman emperor of North African origin. During his reign (193-211) he favored his hometown, which became one of the most important Roman cities in North Africa along with Carthage and Alexandria. For the Romans AFRICA was not the name of the continent - as it is for us - but a Roman province that included the territory of Tunisia, the coast of Libya along the Gulf of Sidra and northeastern Algeria.

The Leptis Magna archaeological site is located near Tripoli in Libya. World Heritage Site since 1982.

The Baths of Caracalla in Rome, Italy

The Baths were unprecedented in size: 1600 Romans could bathe at the same time. Apart from the bathing facilities, there were two libraries and there were shops, offices, gardens and even an area for sport. It simply didn't fit inside of Rome, and that is why it was built just outside of it, by the Appian Way (Via Appia).
