Today's Word "pantheon"
"Argentina had spawned its own pantheon of civic-minded historical heroes, from General Jose de San Martin, the country's liberator in the independence struggle with Spain, to Domingo Sarmiento, the crusading journalist, educator, and president who had finally wrested Argentina into the modern age as a unified republic." -- Jon Lee Anderson, 'Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life'
Pantheon comes from Greek pantheion, "temple of all the gods," from pan-, "all" + theos, "god."

Use of "at" versus "in"
The Pantheon is being described as being "at Rome" in one the today's definitions. Would it not be more appropriate to say the Pantheon is "in Rome"? Perhaps Stonehenge is "on Salisbury Plain" and Moscow is "in Russia", but the use of "at" in a similar context seems misplaced. Would one say Lake Baikal is "at Siberia"?
