“Diocletian (A.D. 245-313), a great foe of Christianity,…extended the frontier of the empire westward into Spain, where he erected two monuments proclaiming:
Diocletian Jovian Maximian Herculeus Caerares Augusti
for having extended the Roman Empire in the east and the west
and for having extinguished the name of Christians
who brought the Republic to ruin
and
Diocletian Jovian Maximian Herculeus Caesares Augusti
for having everywhere abolished the superstition of Christ
for having extended the worship of the gods.
But Diocletian had not abolished Christianity. On the contrary, at the time Christianity was growing stronger than ever, and eventually it triumphed over Caesar’s throne.”
