    1. Civil wars of the Tetrarchy


    Were a series of conflicts between the co-emperors of the Roman Empire (the system of Thetrarchy introduced by Diocletian divided the Roman Empire between two emperors, the augusti, and their junior colleagues and designated successors, the caesares). The war ended with Constantine I as undisputed Emperor.

  • January 309: Maximian is forced to (re-)abdicate. As Maxentius is not recognized, Licinius is named Augustus of the west with immediate command in illyricum and Pannonia. Troops loyal to Galerius name Domitius Alexander as Augustus in Africa.
  • January 312: In 311, the Roman Emperor Galerius died, and his territory in the East was taken over by Licinius. Around the same time, Domitius was defeated by Maxentius in a significant battle.

  • 1.1.Early Tetrarchic Period
