a) Combination of a Roman triumphal arch and an ancient temple facade.
b) Giant pilasters flank arch and support pediment.
c) First Roman triumphal arch in Christian architecture.
d) Size of facade dictated by the small scale of the piazza in front of the church, and Alberti's desire to have identical proportions of width and height of the facade.

f) Interior possesses great barrel vault with no side aisles; coffered ceiling reminiscent of Pantheon and Early Christian churches.
