Orosius

Paulus Orosius (born c. 375, died not before 418), less often Paul Orosius in English, was a priest, Christian historian, theologian and student of Saint Augustine of Hippo. It is possible that he was born in Bracara Augusta (which is now known as Braga, Portugal). Although there are some question marks regarding his biography, such as his exact date of birth, it is known that he was a person of some prestige from a cultural point of view, as he had contact with the greatest figures of his time such as Saint Augustine of Hippo and Saint Jerome. In order to meet with them Orosius travelled to cities on the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, such as Hippo Regius and Alexandria.
