Arnobius
(redirected from Arnobius of Sicca)

    Also found in: Wikipedia 0.14 sec.

Arnobius (died c. AD 330)

Teacher of rhetoric at Sicca Venerea in Numidia, North Africa. Soon after his conversion to Christianity, he published his celebrated work Adversus Nationes/Against the Pagans c. 303. This was intended as an answer to the pagan allegation that contemporary disasters were due to the impiety of the Christians; its tone is bitter and ironical, but the author was not at that time well grounded in the scriptures.
