D., Ravenna was the residence of the governors appointed by the Byzan- tine emperors, and the Byzantine style flourished there until Constantinople was taken by the Turks in 1453. Venice in Northern Italy, Monreale in Sicily, and other cities in Greece and Russia were especially influenced by the Byzantine style. §50 ARCHITECTURE AND ORNAMENT 133 CHARACTERISTICS 8. The chief characteristic of the Byzantine style centers in the new principle of design arising from the development of the dome as ...a system of roofing over the areas of the plan. This point should be clearly understood, as it was the dome in the East that led to the development of the Byzantine style, and the vault in the West that gave rise to the Romanesque and Gothic styles. The change developed was from the original Roman forms, but was gradual and progressive, and in the course of two centuries Byzantine architecture existed as a style by itself. Generally speaking, a Byzantine building consisted of a brick construction no more architectural in its details than the concrete constructions of the Romans.
