On This Day - What happened 5 May 311 AD

Galerius died in late April or early May 311 from a horribly gruesome disease described by Eusebius and Lactantius, possibly some form of bowel cancer, gangrene, or Fournier gangrene.

On the death of Galerius in May 311, Licinius entered into an agreement with Maximinus Daza to share the eastern provinces between them.
