The floor plan of a Christian Basilica is very similar to the Neopythagorean basilica. One example of this is The Porta Maggiore Basilica in Rome, discovered in 1917. It is an underground basilica dated to the first century BC. They have similarities in terms of floor plan and ceiling.

The typical floor plan for Christian basilica in its earliest form of architecture is similar to the roman pantheons and temples which serve the pagan Gods before Christianity was created. The way the basilica in the Christianity's earliest stage was created to have a meaning in the Christian world and signifies the development of the settlement into a city in a presence of such structures.
