Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The Pantheon as it stands today was actually built during the reign of Emperor Hadrian (117-138 AD), not during the Pax Augusta, which refers to the period of peace and stability established by Augustus (27 BC - 14 AD). The Ara Pacis Augustae, Maison Carrée, and Pont-du-Gard are all examples of architecture from the Augustan era.
