Answer
Maximian gave the Augustan office to Constantius when he abdicated. This was done in order to secure the position of Constantius as the heir to the throne. Maximian had previously been co-emperor with Diocletian, but had abdicated in 305. Constantius was his son-in-law, and was seen as a natural successor to the throne.
