The tower appears to be of rather later date than the nave and rests upon the walls of a "narthex" or portico, which may have extended along the whole breadth of the front, as is still to be seen in churches at Rome and ravenna.

In other cities of the Roman empire are many noteworthy early basilican churches, including S. Apollinare Nuovo within and S. Apollinare in Classe without the walls of ravenna, the cathedral of Torcello, that is connected by a narthex with the later S. Fosca, in which the transition from the Roman to the Byzantine style is shadowed forth, and the cathedrals of Parenzo and Grado in Istria, the former retaining almost intact its beautiful colonnaded atrium, the latter chiefly remarkable for its fine mosaic pavement.
