Victorinus (Caius Marius Victorinus Afer) (vĭktərī`nəs), fl. 361, Roman grammarian, b. Africa. He became renowned as a teacher of rhetoric in Rome and as an advocate of Neoplatonism. Becoming a Christian in his later life, he was forbidden to teach by Emperor Julian.

Some hymns and several other treatises have been attributed to him. How to thank TFD for its existence?
