Roman basilicas served as public buildings primarily for legal and civic activities, functioning as places for administration, commerce, and gatherings. Their design featured a long central nave flanked by side aisles and a semi-circular apse, which influenced the architectural layout of early Christian churches. This format became a foundational model for ecclesiastical architecture, promoting the use of the basilica style in religious buildings throughout the Middle Ages and beyond, ultimately impacting Western architectural traditions.
