Years: 311 - 311
April

Galerius, a ruthless ruler, has imposed the poll tax on the urban population, maintained the persecution of the Christians that Diocletian had initiated, and managed to hold together an empire riven by civil war in the West.

In the winter of 310-311, however, he becomes incapacitated with a painful disease.

On April 30, 311—perhaps fearing that his illness is the vengeance of the Christian God—he issues an edict grudgingly granting toleration.

Shortly afterward, he dies.
