Abstract

The problems of the 4th century theology that were of Christological and Trinitarian nature, from the very beginning resulted in numerous reactions and curiosity of its contemporaries whose writings provide the authentic depiction of the events. With the emergence of the contemporary historiography the historians used scientific and systematic methods to examine the sources related to Arian issues and attempted to reconstruct the events of the turbulent era of the 4th century. Their texts based on the original writings enable discovery of all the details essential for the reconstruction of explicit events, border issues, jurisdiction of bishops on the territory of the Metropoly of Syrmium, i.e. the Roman Province of Pannonia.
