Tho he spent most of his time in the Country yet he governed the Empire very well with great Vigilance Justice Activity Clemency and Prudence Being blamed by his Wife for giving too little of his own Inheritance to a Servant he answered Stulta postquam ad imperium transivimus illud quod habuimus ante perdidimus He punished but one for Treason and forbad also to enquire of his Complices and was very kind to his Son Either because of his Piety towards the Gods or his observance of Hadrian or the saving of many Senators Lives whom Hadrian commanded to be killed the Senate gave him the Surname of Pius which with the addition of Felix P.

D. 〈◊〉 was without Capacity or Judgment or Experience in Civil Affairs though Just a good Soldier but extremely Arrogant affirming with great Oaths that he was begot by a Dragon as was said of Alexander Cruel as Diocletian Brutish as Maximian and Lustful as any Being when made Caesar sent by Diocletian against the Persians and returning with loss Diocletian made him run in his Robes by his Litter a great way together the Shame whereof so nettled him that receiving a greater Army he fought and overcame his Enemies so much that Diocletian jealous of his Honour recalled him Yet they triumphed and presently after Diocletian and Maximian retired making Constantius and Galerius Augustus's and Maximinus and Severus Caesars But Galerius being now in perfect Liberty and Authority denied himself nothing that his Arrogance or Lust suggested particularly he outragiously persecuted the Christians to whom at Nicomedia he made a great Oration of the Glory of his Actions and the Prosperity of the Seasons but immediately the Weather changed ruined all the Corn and Fruits with Thunder and Lightning and Maxentius made himself Emperor in Italy where he first defeated Severus and put him to death at Ravenna afterwards Galerius himself coming with an Army endeavored to draw Maxentius to Parley which not being able to do and besides finding the Country by Maxentius's Practices ready to rise against him he returned into Illyricum where he made Licinius one of his Generals Caesar and thence to Sardica in Thrace where he fell into a Disease that all his Body was devoured by Worms and so he died Others say that the Stench of his Body was so intolerable that the Physicians could not endure it the greatest part of whom he therefore put to Death but one boldly telling him that his Disease was the Judgment of God fallen upon him for persecuting the Christians he by a new one recalled his former Edicts against them yet notwithstanding his Disease encreased so much that for mere Anguish he killed himself P.

Flavius Valerius Severus chosen Caesar by Constantius and Galerius after the Retirement of the two old Emperors Anno 306. he was defeated taken and slain by Maxentius at Tres Tabernae having reigned about two Years a weak Man a Drunkard and was chosen by Galerius who hoped to have him obedient He was set over Italy and Africk Constantius having Britain Gallia and Spain but Maxentius Son of Maximianus and Son-in-law to Galerius took it ill that Severus the Nephew of Galerius's Father-in law should be preferred before him and therefore he sollicited the Praetorian Soldiers and the Populace who chose him Emperor Against him Severus came with a great Army as far as Milan but Maxentius debauched by Money and Promises a great part of his Army and even Anullinus his Praefect of the Praetorium so that Severus was forced to save himself in Ravenna with the rest of his Troops where Maxentius in vain besieged him But Maximianus Herculius pretending to compose the Difference between them perswaded Severus to come forth to a Personal Conference with Maxentius which doing he was entrapped by an Ambush laid for him and slain by the Counsel of the said Maximianus Herculius 7. Alexander A Phrygian of mean Birth Timorous and Lazy and Aged being Sub-praefect of the Praetorium was chosen Emperor in Asrick for Maxentius sending his Statues to be adored in Asrick the People who were affected to Galerius refused and made an Insurrection Maxentius therefore endeavoring to go thither with an Army was hindered by his Diviners who foretold him ill Luck if he went wherefore he sought other ways and sent to make this Alexander of his Party and to that end desired him to send his Son a beautiful young Man for an Hostage which he absolutely refusing and fearing the Revenge of Maxentius was forced to declare himself Emperor by the consent of them that were in Insurrection which Maxentius understanding sent against them his Praefectus Praetorii Volusianus and Zenas an old General who defeated Alexander and took him Prisoner at Cirta and strangled him We find also some few Medals of one Nigrinianus a Youth and consecrated but no History or Inscription informs us who he was for that Consul mentioned by Occa he is not perhaps the Son of Alexander 8.
