<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Magnus Maximus, post: 2198793, member: 73473&quot;]I never said that you did and if I implied it I am sorry and did not mean it that way. I just think that to diss all the guys success (And yes the Peace of Nisbis was a very big success. See <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_of_Nisibis" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_of_Nisibis" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_of_Nisibis</a> ) just because he was a fundamentalist ( and bigot) is a little to harsh.</p><p>I don&#039;t particularly like Theodosius I ( can you tell<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) but I acknowledge him as a competent and capable general and probably one of the better guys to lead the Eastern Empire after Adrianople.</p><p>Galerius clearly was a brilliant military commander who saved many Roman lives by creating a lasting peace in the east. But! he was a very flawed human being. Certainly he should not be in the category with Augustus, Trajan, Antoninus Pius, ect. Though I don&#039;t believe he should be at the bottom of the barrel with Caracalla, who killed over 20,000 innocent civilians, or Caligula, Nero. That is a bit unjustified in my humble opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many thanks to VK and Mat for being civil and kind persons who can eloquently discuss history!</p><p>Cheers[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
