Agorius Praetextatus (320-384) was one of the leaders of the Gentile intellectual movement in an increasingly Christian late imperial Rome. In the face of the Christian juggernaut, Praetextatus, his wife Pauline, and a circle of friends including writers Symmachus and Macrobius, fought the battle for the Roman classic religion and ideals. After Praetextatus death in 384, St. Jerome rejoiced that Praetextatus is now in hell.
