These two conclusions are significant for several reasons. First, they are significant for the history of Christianity in Roman North Africa specifically, and in the Roman Empire in general. Second, the work of Arnobius, the Adversus nationes, is to be understood as an important document resulting from the great religious conflict and competition that occurred during the Age of Diocletian.
