Maximian
c. 250 CE–c. 310 CE · Sremska Mitrovica
Maximian was Western Augustus of the Tetrarchy, ruling jointly with Diocletian from 286 CE until the two abdicated together on 1 May 305 (Maximian at Mediolanum/Milan); he later reclaimed power in support of his son Maxentius before his death in 310. Together with Diocletian, Galerius, and Constantius, his name was on the edicts that launched the Great Persecution of Christians in 303 CE — the empire's last and most severe attempt to suppress Christianity — and he enforced these measures in his Western domains of Italy and Africa, though application across the West was generally less rigorous than in the East under Diocletian and Galerius.
