"And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it" (Colossians 2:15). 
Example? The Pantheon in Rome (25 BC, then AD 125) which became the church of Saint Mary and the Martyrs in the 7th century:

 

    Fine print: Translation of the Latin you see in the facade above: "Marcus Agrippa, son of Lucius, in his third consulate, made it." Actually, Agrippa did not make this.  He made the original, a rectangular building of limestone, about 25 B.C.  Rome burned in A.D. 60, 64, 79, 100 and 110. Emperor Domitian rebuilt it once.  Then, from A.D. 118-128, Hadrian built a new temple out of concrete with a different shape.  One of the few parts of the original still intact was the facade attributing the work to Agrippa.  

    Emperor Hadrian's dome remains the largest unreinforced concrete dome on earth.

      So, have you ever listened to music?  On Pandora?  If so, it doesn't hurt to know a bit of mythology.
