HISTORY
Maximian, born Marcus Aurelius Valerius Maximianus Herculius, proved himself on the battlefield with his bravery and ferocity. He became a trusted officer and friend of the emperor Diocletian, who made him Caesar July 21, 285 AD, and Augustus April 1, 286 AD. The two worked well together with Diocletian's intellect and Maximian's military prowess.
Maximian's home was in Trier but as active as he was on the battlefield, he rarely spent time at his residence. Assigned the government of the West, Maximian defeated native revolts and a German invasion in Gaul, but he failed to suppress the revolt of Carausius in Gaul and Britain.
