384 CE
Maximus, making his capital at Augusta Treverorum in Gaul, rules Britain, Gaul, Spain and Africa.
He issues coinage and a number of edicts reorganizing Gaul's system of provinces.
Some scholars believe Maximus may have founded the office of the Comes Britanniarum as well.
He becomes a popular emperor: Quintus Aurelius Symmachus delivers a panegyric on Maximus' virtues.
He uses foederati forces such as the Alamanni to great effect.
Ithacius goes to the imperial court, where he persuades the emperor to have Priscillian tried.
