Munkki Paulus Diaconus, joka eli 700-luvulla, kirjoitti Konstans II:n matkasta Roomaan vuonna 663: »Roomassa viettämiensä kahdentoista päivän aikana hän revitytti alas kaiken metallin ja muun arvokkaan, joka entisinä aikoina oli tehty kaupungin koristamiseksi – jopa niin, että otti kattotiilet Pyhän Marian kirkosta, jota ennen sanottiin Pantheoniksi ... ja lähetti ne muun saaliin mukana Konstantinopoliin.»
