Victor of Vita was a 5th-century bishop and historian from the African province of Byzacena. Born around 430, he is primarily remembered for his detailed historical accounts of the religious conflicts in North Africa. His writings provide essential insights into the period when Vandal kings, specifically Genseric and Huneric, ruled the region. Through his work, he documented the struggles of Nicene Christians against Arian Vandal authorities, making him a vital source for understanding the social and liturgical landscape of late antique Africa.
