  Basilica
The oldest known basilica, the Basilica Porcia, was built in Rome in 184 BC by Marcus Porcius Cato (Cato the Elder).
A Christian basilica of the 4th or 5th century stood behind its entirely enclosed forecourt ringed with a colonnade or arcade, like the stoa or peristyle that was its ancestor or like the cloister that was its descendant.
The Early Christian purpose-built basilica was the cathedral basilica of the bishop, on the model of the semi-public basilicas of the secular power elite, and its growth in size and importance signalled the gradual transfer of civic power into episcopal hands, under way in the fifth century.

 Catholic Culture : Document Library : Minor Basilicas in the United States
The four Roman basilicas alone have a native right to prefix their basilican name with the adjective "sacrosancta." They are also entitled to display and to use in liturgical processions two insignia: the basilican bell (tintinnabulum) and the basilican umbrella, or pavilion (conopceum, ombrellone, padiglione).
Custom allows the basilica thenceforth to display the arms of the current pope on a durable shield over the main entrance, and to install in the vestibule a permanent tablet recording the concession of the privilege and crowned with the arms of the conceding pope.
The list of available indulgences which they furnish should be posted where the faithful can easily read it, and, if the major basilica insists, a tablet should be set up in the affiliated church to commemorate the affiliation.
