Victorinus of Pettau
Post-Apostolic Church

INTRO
Victorinus lived in Pettau, modern-day Ptuj, Slovenia around AD 280.

LIFE
He was martyred during the persecutions under Emperor Diocletian.

WORKS

Victorinus wrote commentaries on at least nine books of the Bible, but the only work that has survived in its entirety is his work on Revelation.  He was the first to see a repetitious pattern in Revelation.  He believed that each pattern, or cycle, runs parallel to the other.  That is, Revelation tells the same story seven times with increasing degrees of intensity.
