The Pantheon was rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian around 126 AD on the site of an earlier temple by Marcus Agrippa (whose name still appears in the inscription on the portico). Its dome — 43.3 m wide — remained the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world for 1,300 years and is still the largest of its kind. The oculus (the 9 m circular opening at the top) is the dome’s only source of light. The building has been in continuous use since antiquity — it became a Christian church in the 7th century, which is why it survived where most other Roman temples were demolished.

Place in the open arena of your formicarium. Works in arenas from 20×20 cm and larger. Looks especially striking against contrasting substrate — white sand below dark resin, or vice versa. Larger colonies often adopt it as a route or perch.

• Fits all arena formats 20×20 cm and larger
• Pairs with our quartz sand and decorative stones
• Combine with moss stones for a biotope look

Wipe with a soft damp cloth when needed. Resin is waterproof — you can rinse under running water. Avoid harsh detergents and prolonged direct sunlight.

Is it safe for ants?
Yes. The resin is inert and food-safe. Ants will walk on it freely without harm.

How big is it?
approximately 10 cm wide, fits arenas 20×20 cm and larger. Sized to fit standard formicarium arenas without dominating the space.

Will the colony actually use it?
Most species adopt the model as a perch, climbing surface, or route. Larger arboreal species (Camponotus, Polyrhachis) tend to use it most.

Can it get wet?
Yes — resin is waterproof. Safe to rinse if it gets soiled.
