During which Council was Maximian forced to renounce his imperial claim again?

  • Council of Nicea

  • Council of Laodicea

  • Council of Constantinople

  • Council of Carnuntum

Answer

The Council of Carnuntum was a meeting of the Roman Senate held in 308 AD. At this council, Maximian, who had been restored to the imperial throne in 307 AD, was forced to renounce his imperial claim again. This was done at the insistence of Diocletian, who was the senior Augustus and had never wanted to share power with Maximian.
