Optatus, Bishop of Milevis in North Africa in the late fourth century, wrote a detailed refutation of Donatist claims to be the one and true righteous church and their accusations towards the Catholic church in North Africa of treachery and collaboration with the Romans in the persecution of the Donatists.
