How did the Church resemble the old Roman empire?
What is now the Catholic Church (originally it was called Latin or Western) was the main Christian church in the western part of the Roman Empire. What it now the Orthodox Church (originally it was called Greek or Eastern) was the main Christian church in the eastern part of the Roman Empire. The foundations of the theology of both these churches were laid in the Roman days.

For example the term pontiff for the Pope is derived from pontifex. The pontifex maximus was the high priest of Roman Religion. The architectural model for the Christian churches of Western Europe was taken from the Roman basilicas, which were the (secular) public buildings of the Romans. The apse was also adopted form the Roman basilicas. The Orthodox churches, instead, adopted the Byzantine architectural model.

A basilica is just an architectural style used by a lot of Catholic churches, especially in the middle ages. It actually originated in the Roman Empire after Christianity became legalized. The Christians took over the Roman law buildings. The word "basilica" is from the Greek "basilike," which were the courthouses in the Roman Empire. Today, basilicas are just churches built in that architectural style. The Vatican is where the Pope lives and the center of the Catholic Church in the world. St. Peter's Basilica is the church in the Vatican, but there are many other basilicas around the world.
