      Marcus Aurelius Valerius Maxentius was born around AD 279 as the son of Maximian and his Syrian wife Eutropia. He was made a senator and even was given Galerius' daughter Valeria Maximilla in marriage in an attempt to confirm his status of the son of an emperor. But other than these honours he received nothing. No consulship to groom him for power, no military command. First he suffered the indignity together with Constantine of being passed over as Maximian and Diocletian both resigned in AD 305, when they both had to watch the relative unknowns of Severus II and Maximinus II Daia accede to what they saw as their rightful places. Then at the death of Constantius Chlorus in AD 306 Constantine was granted the rank of Caesar, leaving Maxentius out in the cold

      Diocletian's Tetrarchy worked pretty well for about 20 years, but then it broke down. In 306 AD one of the Emperors, Constantius, died. He was supposed to be succeeded by his assistant, Severus. But he had a son, whose name was Constantine. When Constantius died, Constantine was not happy about being left out, and Constantius' army declared Constantine emperor. There was a big civil war. Maxentius Maxentius In one of the battles of this war, in 312 AD, Constantine was about to fight the son of another Emperor, Maximian. This son was named Maxentius. The battle was right outside Rome: Constantine was camped outside the walls of Rome, and Maxentius was inside Rome. Constantine's men were badly outnumbered. The night before the battle, Constantine had a dream. A cross or maybe some other Christian symbol appeared in the sky and he heard the words, "Under this sign you will win." Constantine figured that this meant he would win the battle if he had his soldiers paint a cross on their shields. He did have the soldiers paint the cross on their shields, and they did win the battle. Constantine was very impressed with the power of the Christian god, and became a Christian. He put up a triumphal arch to remind people of his victory.

  • Cicero is generally perceived to be one of the most versatile minds of ancient Rome. He introduced the Romans to the chief schools of Greek philosophy and created a Latin philosophical vocabulary, distinguishing himself as a linguist, translator, and philosopher.

      Cicero was a famous Roman statesman. He was born six years before Julius Caesar. They were in politics at the same time. Cicero was from a wealthy family. He was educated as a lawyer. He served in the Senate. He served as elected Consul, the highest position in government under the Republic. He was a wonderful speaker. When Cicero spoke, people listened. Cicero said about government, "In a kingdom, only the king has many rights. Kings can be wise and just. But rule by one person can easily become tyranny." When Julius Caesar entered the city of Rome with his army, and declared himself dictator, Cicero said: "I see no reason for ... being alarmed except the fact that, once departure has been made from the law, everything is uncertain; and nothing can be guaranteed as to the future which depends upon another man's will, not to say caprice. When Caesar declared himself dictator for life, his action was in direction violation of the principals of a constitutional republic." The day Julius Caesar was assassinated, Cicero was there. But he was not one of Julius Caesar's attackers. Cicero lived at time when Rome was changing from a constitutional republic to a dictatorship, ruled by emperors. Cicero fought in the way he knew best, with words and speeches, about the importance of keeping a constitutional government. His words did not fall on dead ears, but the Senate had lost nearly all its power
