Firmianus,2500
known also as Lactantius, a disciple of
Arnobius, during the reign of Diocletian summoned to Nicomedia with
Flavius the Grammarian whose poem On medicine is still extant,
taught rhetoric there and on account of his lack of pupils (since it
was a Greek city) he betook himself to writing. We have a
Banquet of his which he wrote as a young man in Africa and an
Itinerary of a journey from Africa to Nicomedia written in
hexameters, and another book which is called The Grammarian and
a most beautiful one On the wrath of God, and Divine
institutes against the nations, seven books, and an Epitome
of the same work in one volume, without a title,2501
