In the focus of the author?s attention is the question about the features of Victor of Vita?s Historia persecutionis Africanae provinciae as a sample of the ecclesiastical historiography of Late Antiquity. We trace the connection between the work by Victor of Vita and the tradition of Western ecclesiastical historiography of the 4th-5th centu- ries. The article proves that Victor often used the approaches of Lactantius, Eusebius, Rufinus of Aquilea, Sulpicius Severus and Orosius for the representation and explanation of history.
