Paulus Orosius was a fifth century Roman historian and a student of Augustine of Hippo. His 'Seven Books of History against the Pagans' is a major work that had a great impact on historiography during the period between antiquity and the Middle Ages. It presents an engaging historical narration, focusing on the pagan peoples from the earliest time up until when the author was alive.
