Talk:Maximian

Ambiguous phrase
"Finally, Diocletian knew that single rule was dangerous and that precedent existed for dual rulership. Despite their military prowess, both sole-emperors Aurelian and Probus had been easily removed from power.[31] In contrast, just a few years earlier, the emperor Carus and his sons had ruled jointly, albeit not for long. Even the first emperor, Augustus, (r. 27 BC–AD 19),"

This should be re-phrased as it could be interpreted as meaning that Carus reigned a few years before Aurelian and Probus, which isn't the case.Urselius (talk) 11:53, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

In the See also section
There's no reference to Saint Andrew Stratelates, the Christian martyr and general, who died, in addition to 2,593 of his soldiers, during the reign of Maximian and his Commander-in-Chief Antiochus. By the way, a separate section on the persecutions during Maximian's reign should be made, because they're quite significant. Alain08 (talk) 14:38, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

The panegyrist of 289
The article refers to 'The panegyrist of 289' and later of 291 as if the reader will know about these documents. I think a sentence such as 'Sources include anonymous panegyrics to Maximian in 289 and 291' (if that is correct) would be helpful. Dudley Miles 15:41, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
