The Octavius, which is here translated, is a supposed argument between the heathen Caecilius and the Christian Octavius–the writer being requested to arbitrate between the disputants.

Of the literary character of the dialogue, it is sufficient to quote the testimony of the late Dean Milman: Perhaps no late work, either Pagan or Christian, reminds us of the golden days of Latin prose so much as the Octavius of Minucius Felix.
