The architecture would soon shift to the Christian prospect but that will take few hundred of years to fully integrate, and all the Roman once mighty structures turns to runes Dear, this is done in contrasting between the pagan Rome and the early Christian Rome, the difference starts in the symbols of the enchant Gods vanishing, and the Christian symbolism commence.

For instance, you could conceivably include Byzantine architecture as Roman, in which case it lasted for a long time into the influences it had on buildings in Venice, (St. Marks for instance). In Britain, there is a clearer definition when the Romans "left" Britain. Although building in the Roman style continued, perpetuated by the Norman "Romanesque" it didn't truly die out until the Early English Gothic became popular around 1200. PS. This is a generalisation.
