	Herculians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jovians and Herculians were the imperial guard of the Emperors of the Roman Empire from 284 until 988.
		So in 284 A.D. Diocletian who lived in Nicomedia, some 60 miles from Byzantium in Asia Minor, promoted two faithful legions of Illyricum (Legio V Iovia and VI Herculia) to be the personal protectors of the Roman Emperors, a practise that remained intact with the tetrarchy.
		In 988 they in their turn were replaced in the Byzantine Empire by the Varangian Guard.

		Diocletian, in 284 A.D., reduced the status of the Praetorians; they were no longer to be part of palace life, as Diocletian lived in Nicomedia; some 60 miles from Byzantium in Asia Minor.
		A new corps, the Jovians and Herculians, replaced the Pratorians as the personal protectors of the emperors, a practice that remained intact with the tetrarchy.
		By the time Diocletian retired on May 1, 305 A.D., the Castra Praetoria seems to have housed only a minor garrison of Rome.

		His fond partiality towards some German captives, distinguished only by the charms of youth, was an object of scandal to the people; 69 and Magnentius, an ambitious soldier, who was himself of Barbarian extraction, was encouraged by the public discontent to assert the honor of the Roman name.
		70 The chosen bands of Jovians and Herculians, who acknowledged Magnentius as their leader, maintained the most respectable and important station in the Imperial camp.
		The friendship of Marcellinus, count of the sacred largesses, supplied with a liberal hand the means of seduction.

		When Diocletian devised his new ‘tetrarchy’ system of government, with the object of bringing much-needed stability to the political situation in the Empire, part of his strategy was to create two imperial houses, the ‘Jovians’ and the ‘Herculians’.
		Maximian, the co-emperor in the West, had been one of the Empire's leading generals under Aurelian and Probus and Diocletian deemed it appropriate that he should head the ‘Herculian’ house.
		Together with his Caesar Constantius he was under the watchful eye of the hero Hercules, always a favorite with the rulers of Rome.

		Two new corps, the Jovians and Herculians (named after the gods Iove=Iuppiter and Hercules, associated with the senior and junior emperor), replaced the Praetorians as the personal protectors of the emperors, a practice that remained intact with the tetrarchy.

		Hence Constantius I and Gelarius Maximian came into the picture as Caesars, and therefore junior to the augusti.
		The two brothers, Jovians and Herculians were the true powers even though the Caesars were brought into the imperial house.
		Each emperor exercised military and administrative rights in their own spheres.
