Paulus Orosius (usually given as Orosius, 5th century) was a Christian theologian and historian who was also a friend and protege of Saint Augustine of Hippo (354-430). He is best known for his work Seven Books of History Against the Pagans (circa 418), in which he argued that the sack of Rome 410 CE by Alaric I, King of the Goths (reign 394-410), had nothing to do with the Roman adoption of Christianity, a claim popularly supported among the pagans of the day.
