How did Roman art and architecture influence Medieval Christian art and architecture?

How did Roman art and architecture influence Medieval Christian art and architecture? All I could find is that they used the Romans' style of wall-painting. Is there anything else?

  1. Arches, frescoes and cathedrals used roman pillars .. Corinthian.. It has been a long time since I took art history but I the cathedrals were influenced greatly by Roman art and architecture.Compare the Parthenon to some cathedrals.
