The Romanesque style got its name from the use of Roman architectural elements and styles. It was first used in the 19th century to describe the architecture that was reminiscent of Roman design, particularly in churches and religious buildings.
The Romanesque period coincided with the 15th century Renaissance. The Romanesque period describes the artwork and architecture that reached back to its Roman roots and mimic the techniques and style.
One famous Roman sculpture that depicts the head and shoulders is the "Bust of Augustus" found in the Vatican museums. This sculpture portrays the first Roman emperor, Augustus, with intricate details and a sense of imperial power. The bust is a quintessential example of Roman portraiture and showcases the skill of Roman sculptors in capturing the likeness and character of their subjects.
The dates given for the beginning of the Romanesque period range widely from the 6th to the 10th centuries, though most modern historians tend to the 10th. It lasted until the 12th century. There are links below to articles on the Romanesque.
The Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches both have defensible claims to be the 'original' Christianity. Both churches can be traced back to the second century at least. Both churches recognise the other as a sect.

Just about every state capital is a copy of Roman art. The federal capital and congress has architectural elements influenced by Rome. Arenas were first built by Rome, buildings with domes were also first built by Rome. Many churches are copied from Catholic Churches through out Italy. A new Catholic Church was built in my area with the dome and bell tower just like the Roman churches. Everywhere you look you will find the influence of Roman art and architecture.
Churches first started being built during the Roman Empire when Christianity was the "big thing" Temples were around before Jesus' time. Temples were the places of worship before churches.
