Curator Keith Fitzpatrick-Matthews will be delving into the lives of emperors throughout the ages in this series of talks.
Curator Keith Fitzpatrick-Matthews will be delving into the lives of emperors throughout the ages in his series ‘The Roman Empire from Caesar to collapse’. You can join us for one talk or sign up for all eight at once and enjoy a monthly jaunt around the Roman Empire. This is the fourth talk in the series!
Diocletian became emperor after defeating Carinus in 285 and set about a series of deep-seated reforms to the empire, its government and its finances. Setting up a system of joint emperors in the East and West, each with a subordinate, it became known as the Tetrarchy (‘rule of four’).
By the 320s, Constantine I had gained effective sole rule, establishing a new dynasty that expired with the death of his son-in-law Julian in 363.
