After Galerius's death in 311, he was buried at Gamzigrad ( Felix Romuliana ) near Zajecar, Serbia.

The oracle's reply was read as an endorsement of Galerius's position, and a general persecution was called on February 24, 303.

Since it was Galerius's army that would have been purged — Diocletian had left his in Egypt to quell continuing unrest — Antiochenes would understandably have believed Galerius to be its instigator.

Other late 20th-century historians, like Graeme Clark and David S. Potter, assert that, for all its hedging, Galerius's issuance of the edict was a landmark event in the histories of Christianity and the Roman empire.

Galerius's law was not effective for long in Maximinus's district.

Constantius Chlorus requests leave for his son Constantine I who remains at Galerius's court in Nicomedia, as a virtual hostage.

The document seems only to have been promulgated in Galerius's provinces. Among all the other arrangements that we are always making for the benefit and utility of the state, we have heretofore wished to repair all things in accordance with the laws and public discipline of the Romans, and to ensure that even the Christians, who abandoned the practice of their ancestors, should return to good sense.

Galerius's words reinforce the Tetrarchy's theological basis for the persecution ; the acts did nothing more than attempt to enforce traditional civic and religious practices, even if the edicts themselves were thoroughly nontraditional.

Galerius's sister gave birth to a son, Maximinus Daia, and Galerius's daughter by his first wife, Valeria Maximilla, married Maxentius, son of Maximian by his wife Eutropia ; Eutropia's first marriage ( to Afranius Hannibalianus ) had produced a daughter, Theodora, who became the second wife of Constantius Chlorus (" the Pale ") in 289 ( adopted by Maximian on March 1, 293 ).

Constantine and Licinius, Severus's successor, signed the " Edict of Milan " in 313, which offered a more comprehensive acceptance of Christianity than Galerius's edict had provided.

His version of the letter of Licinius must derive from a copy as posted up in Palestine ( probably at Caesarea ) in the late summer or early autumn of 313, but the origin of his copy of Galerius's Edict of 311 is unknown, since that does not seem to have been promulgated in Palestine.

Galerius's recommendation — burning alive — became a common method of executing Christians in the East.

Certain early 20th-century historians have declared that Galerius's edict definitively nullified the old " legal formula " non licet esse Christianos, made Christianity a religio licita, " on a par with Judaism ", and secured Christians ' property, among other things.

Barnes notes that Galerius's legislation only brought to the East rights Christians already possessed in Italy and Africa.

However, they are quoted at length in Lactantius ' On the Deaths of the Persecutors ( De mortibus persecutorum ), which gives the Latin text of both Galerius's Edict of Toleration as posted at Nicomedia on 30 April 311, and of Licinius's letter of toleration and restitution addressed to the governor of Bithynia, posted at Nicomedia on 13 June 313.

Diocletian requested that the edict be pursued " without bloodshed ", against Galerius's demands that all those refusing to sacrifice be burned alive.

Constantine, against Galerius's will, succeeded his father on July 25, 306.

Within seven months of Galerius's proclamation, Maximinus resumed persecution.

His father was a Thracian and his mother Romula was a Dacian woman, who left Dacia because of the Carpians ' attacks.

It was known as Felix Romuliana, named after the Emperor's mother Romula.
