		Early Christian Art and Architecture, works of art and buildings created for the Christian Church in approximately the first 600 years after the time of Christ, and particularly in Italy and the western Mediterranean area (see also Conversion of Europe).
		Most early Christian art in the form of painting and sculpture was derived from Roman art, appropriately adapted to suit the spiritual nature of the religion.
		Christian religious buildings were of two types, the longitudinal hall, or basilica, and the centralized building, frequently a baptistery or a mausoleum.

	Early Christian art and architecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Early Christian art and architecture is the art produced by Christians or under Christian patronage from about the year 200 to about the year 500.
		Early Christians also developed their own iconography, for example such symbols as the fish (ikhthus), were not borrowed from pagan iconography.
		Architectural formulas for temples were unsuitable, not simply for their pagan associations, but because pagan cult and sacrifices occurred outdoors under the open sky in the sight of the gods, with the temple, housing the cult figures and the treasury, as a backdrop.

		Early Christian Buildings: A Graphic Introduction begins with a relatively brief introductory essay of 28 pages, but the book's largest and most important feature is what follows: an extensive set of plans, reconstruction drawings, isometric views, and photographs of a wide range of Early Christian buildings.
		The book's organization is thus ideally suited to lead students from the general concepts that underlie Early Christian architecture (the introductory essay), to the particular buildings and terminology that allow them to flesh out these concepts (the plans, etc., and the glossary), and finally to sources of information useful for further exploration (the bibliography).
		MacDonald's Early Christian and Byzantine Architecture, by contrast, focuses more closely on those buildings from Rome, Constantinople, and the Holy Lands that form the traditional "canon" of Early Christian architecture, which is useful for classroom teaching, but which leaves students limited room for further exploration.

		Early Christian art is somewhat deceivingly hidden in history between the second century after the birth of Christ until the year 313, when Constantine came to power and stopped the persecutions of Christians in the Roman Empire.
		Pagan practice in Rome was to cremate dead bodies before burying; however, early Christians did not believe in this practice and preferred to bury their dead, unburned, outside of the city.
		Catacombs were relatively inexpensive ways to bury Christians so that they were "physically united in death" with other Christians in order to be better prepared for the "Last Day," or day of judgment (Gough, p.24).
