Ambiguous phrase

[edit]

"Finally, Diocletian knew that single rule was dangerous and that precedent existed for dual rulership. Despite their military prowess, both sole-emperors Aurelian and Probus had been easily removed from power.[31] In contrast, just a few years earlier, the emperor Carus and his sons had ruled jointly, albeit not for long. Even the first emperor, Augustus, (r. 27 BC–AD 19),"

This should be re-phrased as it could be interpreted as meaning that Carus reigned a few years before Aurelian and Probus, which isn't the case.Urselius (talk) 11:53, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In the See also section

[edit]

There's no reference to Saint Andrew Stratelates, the Christian martyr and general, who died, in addition to 2,593 of his soldiers, during the reign of Maximian and his Commander-in-Chief Antiochus. By the way, a separate section on the persecutions during Maximian's reign should be made, because they're quite significant. Alain08 (talk) 14:38, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The panegyrist of 289

[edit]

The article refers to 'The panegyrist of 289' and later of 291 as if the reader will know about these documents. I think a sentence such as 'Sources include anonymous panegyrics to Maximian in 289 and 291' (if that is correct) would be helpful. Dudley Miles 15:41, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

REsidence

[edit]

Maximian set up his residence in Mediolanum. Constantius had his residence in Trier. 2601:246:5A00:E5F0:5079:4A05:31EC:DB1E (talk) 15:14, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
