Die führenden heidnischen Familien verachteten Helena wegen ihrer Herkunft, aber sie - intrigant, autoritär und völlig bedenkenlos 2 - tat nun, unterstützt durch die Christen, alles, um Theodora von Konstantius zu trennen, sie samt Familie in einen Seitentrakt des Palastes zu verdrängen und ihrem Sohn den Thron zu sichern † 18.

1. Mai 305: Matters having been thus concerted, Diocletian and Galerius went in procession to publish the nomination of Caesars. Every one looked expectantly at Constantine; for there was no doubt that the choice would fall on him. The troops present, as well as the chief soldiers of the other legions, who had been summoned to the solemn ceremony, fixed their eyes on Constantine, overjoyed in the hope of his approaching appointment, and occupied themselves in prayers for his prosperity. Near three miles from Nicomedia there is an eminence, on the summit of which Galerius formerly received the purple; and there a pillar, with the statue of Jupiter, was placed. There went the procession. An assembly of the soldiers was called. Diocletian, with tears, harangued them, and said that he had become infirm, that he needed rest after his hard life, and that he would resign the empire into hands more vigorous and able, and at the same time appoint new Caesars. The spectators, with the utmost earnestness, waited for the nomination. Suddenly he declared that the Caesars were Severus and Maximinus. Everyone was amazed. Constantine stood near in public view, and men began to question amongst themselves whether his name too had not been changed into Maximinus; when, in the sight of all, Galerius, stretching back his hand, put Constantine aside, and drew Maximinus forward, and, having divested him of the garb of a private person, set him in the most conspicuous place. All men wondered who he was and where he came from, but no one ventured to interpose or move objections, so confounded were their minds at the strange and unlooked-for event. Diocletian took off his purple robe, put it on Maximinus, and resumed his own original name of Diocles. He descended from the tribunal, and passed through Nicomedia in a chariot; and then this old emperor, like a veteran soldier freed from military service, was dismissed into his own country; while Maximinus, lately taken from the tending of cattle in forests to serve as a common soldier, immediately made one of the life-guard, presently a tribune, and next day Caesar, obtained authority to trample under foot and oppress the empire of the East; a person ignorant alike of war and of civil affairs, who became a leader of armies shortly after being a shepherd.

Lactantius, De Mortibus Persecutorum 19.1

1. Mai 305: When Diocletian and Maximian, surnamed Herculius, had by mutual consent laid aside the imperial dignity, and retired into private life, Maximian, surnamed Galerius, who had been a sharer with them in the government, came into Italy and appointed two Caesars, Maximinus in the eastern division of the empire, and Severus in the Italian.

Socrates, Historia Ecclesiastica 1.2

1. Mai: Die Kaiser Diokletian und Maximian treten entsprechend dem System der Römischen Tetrarchie nach zwanzig Jahren Amtszeit ab. Ihre Nachfolger werden die bisherigen Caesaren („Unterkaiser“) Constantius I. und Galerius. Zu den neuen Caesaren werden Flavius Valerius Severus und Gaius Galerius Valerius Maximinus ernannt.
