Of The Manner In Which The Persecutors Died is a historical work written by Lactantius, a Christian author and advisor to the Roman Emperor Constantine. The book chronicles the downfall of several Roman emperors who persecuted Christians, including Galerius, Maximian, and Diocletian. Lactantius describes their deaths as divine punishment for their cruelty and persecution of Christians. The book also includes accounts of the suffering endured by Christians during the persecutions, as well as the triumph of Christianity under Constantine's rule. Overall, Of The Manner In Which The Persecutors Died is a significant work of early Christian literature that offers insight into the religious and political landscape of the Roman Empire in the 4th century.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.
