Chronologie und Ideologie der Tetrarchie

Abstract

The profound and successful reforms of Diocletian and his co-rulers have continued to the evaluated and debated by scholars in recent decades. Not least among the topics discussed is Tetrarchie ideology and religions policy. In order to determine whether Diocletian's measures were first improvised and then given coherence during the course of his reign, or whether the monarch very quickly decided upon his fundamental ideas, one must clarify the chronology of the Tetrarchy. In reply to recent research on this subject, the following article proposes a new chronology of the Egyptian revolt and the Persian War, as well as a reconstruction of the essential steps informing Tetrarchic ideology and religions policy all of which underscores Diocletian's political rationality.
