Maxentius

Maxentius

When Emperor Diocletian divided the empire into two parts (East and West), Maxentius eventually became the senior Western Emperor when he murdered Constantius and usurped his position. Maxentius was the son of Constantius’s predecessor. He was later defeated by Constantine at the battle of the Milvian Bridge in the autumn of 312.
