Which of these designs is peculiar with Christian churches in middle ages?
-
Ara pacis
-
Pantheon

Roman basilica
Correct Answer
A. Roman basilicaExplanation
During the Middle Ages, Christian churches were often designed in the style of Roman basilicas. Roman basilicas were large rectangular buildings with a central nave and side aisles, often with a semicircular apse at one end. This design allowed for a clear division between the clergy and the congregation, with the nave serving as the space for the congregation and the apse as the area for the altar and clergy. The Roman basilica design was adapted and became the standard for Christian churches during the Middle Ages, making it peculiar to that time period.Rate this question:
