More about the book

The book explores the unconventional dynastic norms during Diocletian's reign, focusing on the Tetrarchy, where four military leaders shared power. It examines how military politics shaped their relationships, with Diocletian and Maximian presenting themselves as brothers and undermining the dynastic ambitions of their successors. The roles of sons, often seen as hostages or symbols, and the diminished significance of women in imperial representation are also analyzed. Utilizing a range of evidence, the author offers fresh insights into Tetrarchic dynastic politics and its military foundations.
