<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 4642059, member: 14873&quot;]When I first began reading about the Tetrarchy I developed a dislike for Galerius - I visualized him as arrogant, conniving and self-serving, somewhat like Cassius In Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar”. Then as I read further my attitude softened - I thought he exhibited great leadership and fortitude as he tried to hold the Tetrarchy together after the demise of Constantius. He strived mightily to put the Tetrarchy back on track at the emergency conference he called at Carnuntum to try and resolve the “Augustus crisis”, even though he made some big mistakes (Hobson’s choices).</p><p><br /></p><p>But every time I read about Galerius now I am haunted by the thought of his horrible demise: <a href="https://hekint.org/2018/06/07/the-most-loathsome-disease-of-the-emperor-galerius/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://hekint.org/2018/06/07/the-most-loathsome-disease-of-the-emperor-galerius/" rel="nofollow">https://hekint.org/2018/06/07/the-most-loathsome-disease-of-the-emperor-galerius/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
