Sažetak
We here reconsider the idea of a "Theodosian Renaissance", characterised by Ernst Kitzinger chiefly as the return to a kind of new classicism - including some alterations, of course - after a true crisis of Graeco-Roman art whose paroxysm would have occured during the Tetrarchic and Constantinian periods. But the evidence of several realisations of these decades, and a more objective look on other ones frequently envoked, determine a different interpretation. The classical spirit was not at all out of fashion around 300 ; and, regarding the general trend at least, it is rather a slow and progressive evolution, begun a long time ago, which led without any actual break to what was going to prevail about one century later.
