Famiglia romana e famiglia vandala nell'Africa di Vittore di Vita

Behind the theological interpretation of the events that mark the entire work of Victor Vitensis, the Historia Persecutionis contains multiple information about both Roman-African family and the Vandal one. The hagiographic representation in which the member of the African family are protagonist allow to consider the author knowledge about the marriage law and the role of the family members in late antiquity. At the same time the description of the Vandal Kings' actions provides essential information about their succession system and their family relationship.
