In late 306, Maximian took which title again?

  • Caesar

  • Augustus

  • Tribune

  • Consul

Answer

In late 306, Maximian took the title of Augustus again after the death of Constantius Chlorus. This was done in an attempt to preserve the tetrarchy, a system of government in which the Roman Empire was divided into four regions, each ruled by an emperor. However, the tetrarchy was ultimately unsuccessful and collapsed in 313.
