Bureaucratic affairs were completed during Diocletian's stay: a census took place, and Alexandria, in punishment for its rebellion, lost the ability to mint independently.

Gaining sole reign of the empire, he is also noted for re-establishing a single imperial capital, choosing the site of ancient Byzantium in 330 ( over of the current capitals, which had effectively been changed by Diocletian's reforms to Milan in the West, and Nicomedia in the East ) to build the city soon called Nova Roma ( New Rome ); it was later renamed Constantinople in his honor.

The Tetrarchy ultimately degenerated into civil war, but the eventual victor, Constantine the Great, restored Diocletian's system of dividing the Empire into East and West.

Diocletian's attempts to bring the Egyptian tax system in line with Imperial standards stirred discontent, and a revolt swept the region after Galerius ' departure.

Diocletian's reforms in the region, combined with those of Septimus Severus, brought Egyptian administrative practices much closer to Roman standards.

Antioch was Diocletian's primary residence from 299 to 302, while Galerius swapped places with his Augustus on the Middle and Lower Danube.

Diocletian's reply: " If you could show the cabbage that I planted with my own hands to your emperor, he definitely wouldn't dare suggest that I replace the peace and happiness of this place with the storms of a never-satisfied greed.

In keeping with his move from an ideology of republicanism to one of autocracy, Diocletian's council of advisers, his consilium, differed from those of earlier Emperors.

As with most Emperors, much of Diocletian's daily routine rotated around legal affairs — responding to appeals and petitions, and delivering decisions on disputed matters.

The most that can be said about built structures under Diocletian's reign is that he rebuilt and strengthened forts at the Upper Rhine frontier ( where he followed the works made under Probus's reign, both along the Lake Constance-Basel as well as along the Rhine – Iller – Danube line ), in Egypt, and on the frontier with Persia.

Most importantly, Diocletian's tax system and administrative reforms lasted, with some modifications, until the advent of the Muslims in the 630s.

He was baptized and instructed in the city, and lived in Palestine in 296, when Diocletian's army passed through the region ( in the Life of Constantine, Eusebius recalls seeing Constantine traveling with the army ).

Since Diocletian's Tetrarchy ( 296 ), it was the major province of a diocese confusingly called Galliae (' the Gaul s '), to which further only the Helvetic, Belgian ( both also Celtic ) and German provinces belonged ; with the dioceses of Viennensis ( the southern provinces of Gaul ), Britanniae ( also Celtic ) and Hispaniae ( the whole Celtiberian peninsula ) this formed the praetorian prefecture also called Galliae, subordinate to the western emperor.

While no contemporary sources on his life are preserved, later sources and legends claim that he died during the Diocletianic Persecution, which ended with Diocletian's retirement in 305. Januarius is the patron saint of Naples, where the faithful gather three times a year in Naples Cathedral to witness the alleged liquefaction of what is claimed to be a sample of his blood kept in a sealed glass ampoule.

He served with distinction as a soldier under Emperors Aurelian and Probus, and in 293 at the establishment of the Tetrarchy, was designated Caesar along with Constantius Chlorus, receiving in marriage Diocletian's daughter Valeria ( later known as Galeria Valeria ), and at the same time being entrusted with the care of the Illyrian provinces.

Sheppard Frere wonders how Carausius was able to win support from the army when his command had been sea-based, and speculates that he had perhaps been involved in an unrecorded victory in Britain, connected with Diocletian's assumption of the title Britannicus Maximus in 285, and signs of destruction in Romano-British towns at this time.

Diocletian's Palace, which later became Split, was largely built with limestone that was quarried on Brač.

A Western Roman Empire existed intermittently in several periods between the 3rd and 5th centuries, after Diocletian's Tetrarchy and the reunifications associated with Constantine the Great and Julian the Apostate ( 324 – 363 ).

While no contemporary sources on his life are preserved, later sources and legends claim that he died during the Diocletianic Persecution, which ended with Diocletian's retirement in 305.

The authorities also constructed the city weather station and two " vidilice ", or " look-out points ", as resting places connected with a long stairway all the way to the Diocletian's Palace, the " Riva " promenade and the rest of the city center.

" As with Diocletian's Edict on Maximum Prices, shortages lead to black markets where prices for the same good exceed those of an uncontrolled market.

A transverse street leads to Diocletian's Camp, built by the Governor of Syria, Sosianus Hierocles, with the remains of the large central principia ( hall housing the legions ' standards ).

The Acta of the martyrdom of the bishop Fructuosus and his deacons Augurius and Eulogius document his legend ; they are the earliest Hispanic Acta, " marked by a realistic simplicity which contrasts very favourably with many of the Acta of Diocletian's persecution ".

When later authors described the period, this is what they emphasized: Ammianus has Constantius II admonish Julian for disobedience by appealing to the example in submission set by Diocletian's lesser colleagues ; Julian himself would compare the Diocletianic tetrarchs to a chorus surrounding a leader, speaking in unison under his command.

In the 6th Century, when Justinian increasingly reversed Diocletian's strict separation of civil and military authority, praeses granted military authority over their province were generally elevated to the related, older term Praetor.

Following Diocletian's victory, both the western and the eastern armies acclaimed him Augustus.

Constantine ignored those parts of Diocletian's rule that did not suit him.

The Diocletianic regime's activist stance, however, and Diocletian's belief in the power of central government to effect major change in morals and society made him unusual.

The economy of Brač is based mostly on tourism, but fishing and agriculture ( especially wine and olives ) are very important too, as is its precious white stone which was used in building Diocletian's Palace in Split and the Canadian National Vimy Memorial.

Diocletian's reign stabilized the Empire and marks the end of the Crisis of the Third Century.

In spite of his failures, Diocletian's reforms fundamentally changed the structure of Roman imperial government and helped stabilize the Empire economically and militarily, enabling the Empire to remain essentially intact for another hundred years despite having seemed near the brink of collapse in Diocletian's youth.

Diocletian's reforms shifted the governors ' main function to that of the presiding official in the lower courts: whereas in the early Empire military and judicial functions were the function of governor, and procurators had supervised taxation ; under the new system vicarii and governors were responsible for justice and taxation, and a new class of duces (" dukes "), acting independently of the civil service, had military command.

The sharp increase in the number of edicts and rescripts produced under Diocletian's rule has been read as evidence of an ongoing effort to realign the whole Empire on terms dictated by the imperial center.

The Tetrarchy | Tetrarchs were the four co-rulers who governed the Roman Empire as long as Diocletian's reform lasted.

During the Roman Empire when Sisak was known as Siscia, Christian martyr Quirinus of Sescia was tortured and nearly killed during Diocletian's persecution of Christians.

They include his Fastes de l ' empire romain (" The Splendours of the Roman Empire "), and editions of Diocletian's Edict on Maximum Prices and of Philippe Lebas ' Voyage archéologique ( 1868 – 1877 ).

The argenteus was a silver coin produced by the Roman Empire from the time of Diocletian's coinage reform in AD 294 to ca.

* Both the notion of " partnership " in the form of a senior emperor and several junior co-emperors ( usually, but not necessarily, his sons ), and Diocletian's titulature, but mainly versed in Greek ( e. g. Sebastos for Augustus, a literal translation ), became quite common is the Eastern Roman Empire, i. e. Byzantium, which lasted a further millennium after the fall of the Western Empire.

Emperor Constantine completed Diocletian's reforms and organized the Roman Empire into four pretorian prefectures late in his reign, actually the former territorial circumscriptions of the former four imperial tetrarchs to which each praetorian prefect had acted as chief of staff: the Prefecture of the Gauls, the Prefecture of Italy and Africa, the Prefecture of Illyricum, and the Prefecture of Oriens, with each administrated by an imperially appointed Praetorian prefect.

Following Diocletian's abdication in 305, civil war erupted among the various co-emperors, during which time each of the contenders appointed his own prefect, a pattern carried on during the period where the Empire was shared between Licinius and Constantine I.

Diocletian was not the only challenger to Carinus ' rule: the usurper M. Aurelius Julianus, Carinus ' corrector Venetiae, took control of northern Italy and Pannonia after Diocletian's accession.

It is possible that Flavius Constantius, the governor of Dalmatia and Diocletian's associate in the household guard, had already defected to Diocletian in the early spring.

In the spring of 293, in either Philippopolis ( Plovdiv, Bulgaria ) or Sirmium, Diocletian would do the same for Galerius, husband to Diocletian's daughter Valeria, and perhaps Diocletian's praetorian prefect.

Diocletian was demonized by his Christian successors: Lactantius intimated that Diocletian's ascendancy heralded the apocalypse, and in Serbian mythology, Diocletian is remembered as Dukljan, the adversary of God.

Diocletian and Maximian stepped down as co-emperors on May 1, 305, possibly due to Diocletian's poor health.

Dalmatia was the birthplace of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, who constructed Diocletian's Palace in the core of what is now present day Split.

Near the city emperor Diocletian, born in Salona, built the Diocletian's Palace ( around year 300 AD ), which is the largest and most important monument of late antique architecture in the World.

When the Roman Emperor Diocletian retired, he erected a monumental palace nearby ; this massive structure, known as Diocletian's Palace, became the core of the modern city of Split.

Salona was an early Roman settlement, which became overshadowed when Emperor Diocletian constructed the nearby Diocletian's Palace in about the year 300 AD.

Diocletian's Palace (, ) is a building in Split, Croatia, that was built by the Roman emperor Diocletian at the turn of the fourth century AD.
