Maxentius, full name Marcus Aurelius Valerius Maxentius, was a Roman emperor who reigned from 306 to 312. In 305, his father, Emperor Maximian, abdicated alongside Diocletian. Maxentius was passed over in favour of Flavius Valerius Severus, who was made a caesar and then an augustus in the new tetrarchy established after these abdications (two augusti with a caesar under each). He drowned in the battle of Milvian Bridge and died in 312.
