Résumé En

Tertullian often refers to stoicism in De spectaculis and De pallio and he often uses it as a retorsio, in order to criticize pagans and paganism. But stoic philosophy also gives him concepts as iustitia, sensus communis or prouidentia that enable his apologetic project. So, the way Tertullian uses stoicism in these works shows inherent problems in the conversion of the pagan culture to Christianity.
