Being absent unreasonably from the History of Art of Romania, Late Antiquity is a period of transition which should be presented as a distinct age, at least from the point of view of arts. Moreover, the features which make this period special in the entire world belong to the fields of religion, economics and etnogenesis, but also the domain of general linguistics – being the period when nowadays languages started to form themselves. On the territory of Romania, this period is marked by a few important events and phenomena, two of them are the process of Romanization and Christianization of the Dacian-Roman people which imply linguistic phenomena. The process of gradually introducing the Roman specificity, the enforceability of a new civilisation also meant the imposition of a new language, the Latin one; as far as Christianism is concerned, its Latin character is demonstrated by the Christian terminology of the basic Romanian vocabulary.
