Roman Empire - Maximian took up the title of Augustus

Time: Thursday Apr 1, 286

Place: Roman Empire

Details: Spurred by the crisis, on 1 April 286, Maximian took up the title of Augustus. His appointment is unusual in that it was impossible for Diocletian to have been present to witness the event. It has even been suggested that Maximian usurped the title and was only later recognized by Diocletian in hopes of avoiding civil war.
