The recent discoveries in the late-antiquc fortified refuges and Early-Christian Centra of Slovenia drew attention to the new aspects of the settlement history of that time. They all had an Old Christian church either on the exposed place on the top or in the middle of the settlement. In some of the settlements, e. g. in Vranje by Sevnica there was even a family of churches with small chapels, baptistery etc. Therefore the author comes to the conclusion that there had been the organized effort of the Early Christian church in question. At the same time he points out to the case of Vranje by Sevnica in order to call attention to the gradual decline of civilization from the 4th till the 6th century which sank to the level that could lie taken over also by the coming Slavs, not acquainted with the great achievments of the antique.Novejša odkritja na poznoantičnih utrjenih pribežališčih in zgodnjekrščanskih središčih Slovenije so opozorila na nove vidike v poselitveni zgodovini tega časa. Pri vseh je na izpostavljenem mestu na vrhu ali v sredini naselbine postavljena starokrščanska cerkev ali kot v Vranju pri Sevnici kar družina cerkva s spremnimi kapelicami, baptisterijem itd. Zato avtor meni, da je v ozadju organizirano prizadevanje zgodnjekrščanske cerkve. Hkrati opozarja na primeru Vranja pri Sevnici na stopnjevani upad omike od 4. do 6. stoletja, ki je dosegla tako raven, da so jo mogli prevzeti tudi prihajajoči Slovani, ki drugače niso bili seznanjeni z visokimi dosežki antike
