Abstract

The hypothesis, put forward by the Danish architect Ejnar Dyggve, about the existence of the so-called Arian cathedral continues to be the subject of lively debate. This paper aims to revise the theoretical starting points of Dyggve’s hypothesis including some subsequent attitudes towards this important i ssue. Starting from the scarcely available data at present, it also offers some new directions for research as well as a hypothesis that several Late Antique churches in Dalmatia were actually commissioned by the Ostrogoths.
