Galerius in Wikipedia
Gaius Galerius Valerius Maximianus (c. 260 - April or May
311), commonly known as Galerius, was Roman Emperor from 305
to 311. During his reign he campaigned, aided by Diocletian,
against the Sassanid Empire, sacking their capital Ctesiphon
in 299.
Early life
Galerius was born on a small farm estate, on the site where
he later built his palace, Felix Romuliana.[5] His father
was a Thracian and his mother Romula was a Dacian woman, who
left Dacia because of the Carpians' attacks.[10] He
originally followed his father's occupation, that of a
herdsman, where he got his surname of Armentarius (Latin:
armentum, herd). He served with distinction as a soldier
under Emperors Aurelian and Probus, and in 293 at the
establishment of the Tetrarchy, was designated Caesar along
with Constantius Chlorus, receiving in marriage Diocletian's
daughter Valeria (later known as Galeria Valeria), and at
the same time being entrusted with the care of the Illyrian
provinces. Soon after his appointment, Galerius would be
dispatched to Egypt to fight the rebellious cities Busiris
and Coptos...
