德尔图良描绘了异教的亵渎本质，他记载说，在一个礼堂里，他看到赫拉克勒斯（Hercules）的角色被烧死，阿提斯（Attis）的角色被阉割；他引用这两个例子来证实他对异教徒听众的断言，即“罪犯经常扮演你的神的角色”（“et ipsos deos vestros saepe noxii induunt”）。德尔图良在此谴责的做法是本文的主题：在正式的公开展示中惩罚罪犯，包括戏剧背景下的角色扮演；刑罚通常是死刑。
Tertullian, illustrating the sacrilegious nature of pagan religion, records that in an auditorium he saw a person being burned to death in the role of Hercules and another being castrated as Attis; both of these examples he adduces to substantiate his assertion to his pagan audience that ‘criminals often adopt the roles of your deities’ (‘et ipsos deos vestros saepe noxii induunt’). The practice that Tertullian here deplores is the subject of this paper: the punishment of criminals in a formal public display involving role-play set in a dramatic context; the punishment is usually capital.
