Description
Of The Manner In Which The Persecutors Died is a historical work written by Lactantius, a Christian author and advisor to Emperor Constantine. The book documents the deaths of several Roman emperors who persecuted Christians during the early years of the religion. Lactantius describes the gruesome fates of these emperors, including Maximian, Galerius, and Diocletian, who suffered from illnesses, suicides, and violent deaths. The book serves as a reminder of the power of faith and the ultimate downfall of those who oppress others. It also highlights the growing influence of Christianity in the Roman Empire during the fourth century. Overall, Of The Manner In Which The Persecutors Died is a significant historical document that sheds light on the early years of Christianity and the political climate of the Roman Empire.But that which gave rise to public and universal calamity, was the tax imposed at once on each province and city. Surveyors having been spread abroad, and occupied in a general and severe scrutiny, horrible scenes were exhibited, like the outrages of victorious enemies, and the wretched state of captives. Each spot of ground was measured, vines and fruit-trees numbered, lists taken of animals of every kind, and a capi-tation-roll made up.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
