Changes

Byzantine architecture is mainly the characteristic architecture of the [[Byzantine]] Empire. It presents a mixed style, i.e. a style composed of Graeco-Roman and Oriental elements which, in earlier centuries, cannot be clearly separated.

Another advancement was the development of bacilicasbasilicas.[http://library.thinkquest.org/C005594/Medieval/byzantine.htm] In interiors, marble and mosaic were used broadly to make a complete lining for a rough carcase and mouldings were replaced by decorative bands formed in the mosaic.
