<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2810501, member: 19463&quot;]I admire Diocletian for his attempt to introduce the concept of a peaceful transition of power to the Roman system.&nbsp; Since this did not happen until the 4th century, I suppose I should not have selected him but it just shows how artificial it is to divide history into meaningless periods.&nbsp; Perhaps the natural breaks would be Domitian-Nerva (96), Commodus-Pertinax (193) and Carinus-Diocletian (284 makes a short century but it was fun filled).&nbsp; Diocletian was the last emperor of the old school and the first of the new. Maybe the correct split was as used in RIC for coins when he reformed the coins and the economy.&nbsp; 294 fits the concept of 96/193/294 century breaks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
