Summary:

Gewalt ist ein zentrales Thema in De mortibus persecutorum, einer der bedeutendsten Quellen zur tetrarchischen Christenverfolgung. Gianna Zipp nimmt die Schrift als literarisches Gesamtwerk in den Blick und arbeitet feinschrittig mittels eines close reading die Konzeption des Werkes heraus. Sie weist nach, wie Laktanz glaubhaft macht, dass die gewalttätigen Tetrarchen ihrem von Gott bestimmten, grausamen Ende zugeführt werden.

Violence is a central topic in De mortibus persecutorum, one of the most significant sources on the Tetrarchy's persecution of Christians. Gianna Zipp examines this piece of writing as a literary complete works and meticulously analyzes its conception using the method of close reading. She shows how Lactantius credibly portrays the violent Tetrarchs coming to their horrific end as determined by God.
