Statement
In the 430s Theodosius II (408 to 450) redefined the Jews' legal position to fit the empire's new Christian character. His Theodosian Code reaffirmed Jewish citizenship and protection against arbitrary loss of rights, but lumped 'Jews, Samaritans, Heretics, and Pagans' into a single section and added fresh restrictions.
