FAQ
1. What is the historical context of the Pergamon Altar featured in the Asisi Panorama?
The Pergamon Altar was a monumental structure built in the ancient Greek city of Pergamon around the 2nd century BCE. Commissioned by King Eumenes II, it was dedicated to Zeus and Athena, commemorating military triumphs. The Asisi Panorama vividly recreates the city of Pergamon during its Hellenistic golden age, allowing visitors to experience the Altar's historical setting and grandeur as it originally stood amidst its urban landscape. This immersive view helps contextualize its significance in ancient Greek culture.
2. What is the significance of the Pergamon Altar in biblical references?
The city of Pergamon is mentioned in the Book of Revelation (Revelation 2:12-16) as one of the "seven churches of Asia," specifically as the place "where Satan's throne is."

The biblical passage is understood as a critique of these practices, contrasting them with the early Christian faith in the region.
