Drawing from a variety of sources - literary, visual,
archaeological; papyri, inscriptions and coins - the author studies
the nature of Diocletian's imperial strategy, his wars, his
religious views and his abdication. The author also examines
Galerius' endeavour to take control of Diocletian's empire, his
failures and successes, against the backdrop of Constantine's
remorseless drive to power. The first comprehensive study of the
Emperor Galerius, this book offers an innovative analysis of his
reign as both Caesar and Augustus, using his changing relationship
with Diocletian as the principal key to unlock the complex imperial
politics of the period.
