A "poem" even to-day is supposed to be a literary composition that is in artificial language arranged in a metrical pattern, often conveying a trite idea or Enshrining an ineffective image.

In addition to the early churches of basilican plan are a few of circular form, such as that at Rome Enshrining the tomb of S. Constanza, the daughter of Constantine, dating from about A.D. 354, which has a domed roof and vaulted aisles, the 5th century church of S. Stefano Rotondo in the same town, the latter, though greatly modified in detail, still preserving its two concentric ranges of columns, S. Vitale at Ravenna, and S. George at Salonika, that has a circular nave but an oblong chancel and apse, whilst the 6th century tomb of Theodoric is typical of the use of a similar plan in sepulchral monuments.
