Christian worship required, first and foremost, that the temple accommodate all the acts of the liturgy and provide seating for all its faithful. Its center had to be the altar, an object that in pagan worship was located outside the temple of the statue. These and other requirements, such as preaching, readings, the administration of the sacraments, etc., demanded a large, enclosed building with meticulous interior design and a simple, austere exterior appearance, which was no longer surprising at the time, since, as we have seen, Roman architecture was more concerned with the interior space than with its outward appearance. The model of temple that best met the demands of the triumphant Church was a secular building like the Basilica Ulpia, with its five naves and two apsidal chancels. By removing one of these chancels to give the building a focal point at a single apse, much progress had been made. Something was missing, more symbolic than functional: the transept and the triumphal arch that placed the building under the sign of the cross, and thus the crossing was born, a momentous innovation in Christian architecture. The Constantinian basilicas of Rome, the Lateran and St. Peter's, remained intact until the Modern Age, when they were demolished to make way for others more in keeping with the tastes of the times. Only Santa Maria Maggiore and Santa Sabina are late echoes of the first and magnificent churches of the city of Rome. Part of what we see today in Santa Maria Maggiore is the work of Sixtus III (432-440), while Santa Sabina dates back to the early period of 400-410.
