With the exception of Tyconius’s comments on Revelation 4–5 and 21–22, the consistent theme of his exposition is the spiritual conflict between the saints and the devil, who deploys his attacks on the church both externally, through heathen kings and nations, and internally, through the false brothers within the bipartite church. The reason why the theme of spiritual conflict is reiterated is that, like Victorinus, Tyconius believes the various visions of the Apocalypse are recapitulations.50 At
