You mean Romanesque? The major difference is that Romanesque was heavily influenced by both Roman and Eastern/Oriental cultures. Look at this, which is Romanesque -http://www.oglethorpe.edu/faculty/~j_bohart/images/romanarch.JPG - compared to this, which is Gothic- http://www.bc.edu/bc_org/avp/cas/fnart/arch/gothic/ND_sec1.jpg . Hope this helps!

roman arches are a smooth semi-circular curve.
gothic arches are usually a split arch, or an arch with a point in the middle.
