	Patriarch Maximianus of Constantinople - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Maximianus was the archbishop of Constantinople from 25 October 431 until his death on 12 April 434.
		Maximianus had led a monastic life and had entered presbyteral orders; his action in building, at his own expense, tombs for the remains of holy men had obtained for him a reputation of sanctity.
		The action of the Ecumenical council of Ephesus had thrown the churches of Constantinople into direst confusion.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Maximianus
		Like Diocletian, Maximianus came from Illyria, from the neighbourhood of Sirmium; as the son of a simple peasant, he possessed only very little education; he was violent and brutal, but was a brave fighter.
		For this reason, when Diocletian was struggling with the Persians in Asia, Maximianus was entrusted with the leadership of the punitive expedition against the peasants and field slaves (Bagaudans) in Gaul who, driven by economical causes, had risen against Diocletian.
		While Maximianus, having established his head-quarters at Mainz, was successful in the struggles with the Burgundians and the Alamanni, who had crossed the frontier and the Rhine, he found many obstacles in repulsing the Menapian pirate chief Carausius.

	The Baldwin Project: Soldiers and Sailors by Charles Horne
		Maximianus was stationed in Gaul and on the German frontier to repel invasion; Diocletian resided chiefly in the East to watch the Persians, though he appears to have visited Rome in the early part of his reign.
		Maximianus in the meantime was engaged in putting down the revolt in Mauritania, which he effected with full success.
		Maximianus retired to his seat in Lucania, but not being endowed with the firmness of Diocletian he tried some time after to recover his former power, and wrote to his old colleague to induce him to do the same.

		Maximianus developed an obsession with power, because of the enormus amount of gold and silver that flowed in to him daily.

	In Italy Online - Byzantine Italy
		This glory was expressed by the Cross (Constantine's monogram, reused decades later by Maximianus in the palatine basilica of S. Vitale) and the basilica, to which her Mausoleum was annexed was dedicated to the Cross.
		Archbishop Maximianus was to suggest an extraordinary repertory of ancient bestiary for the ivory throne but, as this particular item shows, already in the S. Vitale mosaic cycles there are clearly evident biblical, liturgical and symbolic interpretations of plants and animals to distinguish Christian practices from the earlier pagan imaginative tradition.
		In the vault of S. Vitale Maximianus was to put the Lamb in the place of the monogram of Christ we see here, a clear sign of the Ravenna bishops' cultural continuity: residing here, commissioning works, and with the literary treasures of their library and the Palace Archives near at hand.

	Maximianus, Galerius, Maximinus & Maxentius
		Maximianus was the only ruler with the name Marcus Aurelius so any Max coin bearing the abbreviation MA will belong to him.
		The whole matter of separating Galerius from Maximianus was made more difficult when the old emperor came back for a second reign from 306-308 AD allowing a few coins of lighter standard to be produced in his name.
		This is illustrated by our example of Maxentius (son of Maximianus who made a bid for power from 306-312 AD) which is struck on a thin flan of appropriate weight even though it is the largest diameter (28mm) of all the folles shown here.

		These complained to Maximianus that Sergius and Bacchus were Christians, and persuaded others to become Christians also, contrary to the laws which required all to worship only the pagan gods.
		For neither Maximianus nor Maximinus ever ruled alone, but always as one of a college of emperors, in whose joint names each individual emperor was accustomed to act.
		Hence the omission of the name of Antioch from the surviving passion may point to its descent from a text first composed during the last years of Alexander of Hierapolis when relations with the see of Antioch were extremely poor, and the Antiochene connection was played down accordingly.

		The greatest similarity between the Choise and Maximianus 5 is that both Francis and the Graia puella deliver enormous laments for the fallen penis.
		There are no parallels for such arias in Ovid; there is nothing else like it that Nashe could have known.[7] The sorrowful Priapean speech of the Graia puella (M5 87-104; 109-52) is only punctuated by the brief and derisive laughter of the senex (107-08).
		In the Middle Ages, Maximianus was an auctor whom schoolmasters used to teach pupils their Latin.

		When Maximianus Herculius knew this, he was doubtless greatly concerned for his son Maxentius, and therefore, leaving Lucania where he then was, he went to Ravenna.
		Maximianus Gallerius could not patiently endure these injuries done to Severus, and therefore resolved to go from the east to Rome, and to punish, Maxentius as he deserved.
