Who deified Maximian after his death?
Julius Caesar
Diocletian
Constantius
Constantine
Answer
After Maximian's death in 310, Constantine ordered his body to be brought to Rome, where he had it buried in a golden sarcophagus. He then deified Maximian, which meant that he declared him to be a god. This was a controversial decision, as it was not customary for Roman emperors to be deified while they were still alive.
