Maximus, making his capital at Augusta Treverorum…

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.
