Of The Manner In Which The Persecutors Died is a historical book written by Lactantius, a Christian author and advisor to the Roman Emperor Constantine. The book details the persecution of Christians by the Roman Empire, specifically focusing on the reigns of Diocletian and Galerius. Lactantius describes the brutal methods used by the persecutors to torture and kill Christians, including burning, crucifixion, and feeding them to wild animals. However, the book also highlights the perseverance and faith of the Christian martyrs, who refused to renounce their beliefs even in the face of death. The title refers to the eventual downfall of the persecutors themselves, as Lactantius argues that their cruelty and disregard for human life ultimately led to their own demise. The book is considered an important historical document for understanding the early Christian church and the persecution it faced under the Roman Empire.But that which gave rise to public and universal calamity, was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.
