<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 3694046, member: 14873&quot;]I must say that is a darn good analysis - about the best I have read. Constantius ceded too much to Galerius in his insistence of Constantius appointing Severus II (protege of Galerius) as Caesar of the west rather than his own son after the Abdication of Diocletian and Maximian Herculius, just to avoid confrontation, and that decision came back to haunt him. But I still think that Galerius had amassed enough prestige and stature at Carnuntum that he alone could have rescued the Tetrarchic system of governance for some more years (if he could have reined in Constantine, that is). All conjecture I know, but “that is the stuff (at least some of it) that Ancient coin research is made of.” <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Added: my reply may have come through in two parts because I lost my WiFi connection as it was loading and I had to reestablish the connection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
