  8. Godine 313. CAR KONSTANTIN Milanskim ediktom priznaje kršćanstvo kao ravnopravnu religiju čime onapostaje priznata religija i progoni kršćana nestaju. • Nakon tog trenutka novoj je vjeri trebalo pronaći odgovarajući arhitektonski okvir. Kako koncepcija hrama nije odgovarala potrebama kršćanskog obreda, najprikladniji je oblik bio oblik bazilike, rimske svjetovne građevine.

  9. Christian Art after Official Recognition of Christianity • Almost overnight, an impressive architectural setting had to be created for the new official faith, so that the Church might be visible to all.
