Description

View of Corinthian columns with mosaic work at Santa Sabina in Rome, Italy. "Basilicas—a type of building used by the ancient Romans for diverse functions including as a site for law courts, is the category of building that Constantine's architects adapted to serve as the basis for the new churches ... the Church of Santa Sabina has a dominant central axis that leads from the entrance to the apse, the site of the altar. This central space is known as the nave, and is flanked on either side by side aisles,"--by Allen Farber, KahnAcademy website.
